Imagine, if you will, the culinary world’s response if I suddenly stopped using my favourite herb, rosemary, in my dishes. There would be confusion, surprise, perhaps even outrage. That’s precisely the pot that Microsoft has stirred up by removing Cortana, its voice assistant, from Windows 11. Cortana was once an integral ingredient in the recipe of Microsoft’s operating system, much like rosemary in my roasted potatoes. And now, it’s gone.
The Big Change: Cortana’s End
Picture the first time you step into a kitchen as a novice cook. Everything seems complex, strange, and even a tad terrifying. However, as you fumble around with your first few recipes, there are guidebooks, or assistants if you will, guiding you. Cortana was like that for many – a guiding voice in the labyrinth of technology. Its removal can feel as daunting as removing the training wheels on a bicycle for the first time. Yet, change often heralds evolution, much like how the intimidating Thai Green Curry of mine transformed into a beloved comfort dish once I learned the nuances.
New Flavours on the Horizon
As disconcerting as the disappearance of a favourite dish from your local bistro’s menu can be, remember this: It usually paves the way for new and more exciting culinary experiences. Microsoft promises the same with the end of Cortana. They’re cooking up fresh bets to enhance the user’s experience, perhaps creating a more vibrant and nuanced flavour profile than Cortana ever produced. Much like my ever-evolving menu, I see this as a natural part of growth in technology or indeed, in any craft.
