Cortana is 95% Halo quotes.

A little under an hour into it (no I did not watch this whole pathetic press release, I skipped around) the presenter is showing off Cortana and announces that she'll be in Windows 10.

Almost everything she says is ripped directly from Halo audio.
I can't wait for the web browser that's replacing IE, Spartan.
Ooh, or the archive manager GuiltySpark, as Windows has never had a built in archiver.

I'm especially exited for the Cole Protocol, which makes your computer shut down and delete all of it's data.

Yeah, gg M$.

No, this is about Windows 10 and Cortana personal assistant.

They need to stop with the Halo references.

i may like it, may not

but damn they need to calm down with halo.

I almost bought a windows phone. But then I find out it isn't Jen Taylor who VA's the cortana thing in britain, and it's region specific to NA so I decided to get a cheap samsung a friend was selling instead.

Seriously, the fact that they called it cortana and it isn't cortana is a Travissty.

Holy shit why are they taking so many things from Halo?

They're not really taking it. They do own it.

You know what I mean, they're using a lot of names from Halo.

I made two of them up, and Spartan is only a codename.

Well it's pretty much the only thing- gamewise- they've got going for them. They have exclusives, but they don't really have any other console sellers tht are as big as Halo. It kinds makes sense that they're going to use something from it for their OS. If they didn't have Halo and Halo was multiplat/ Xbox and PC like Titanfall, Microsoft probably wouldn't sell as many xboxes.

I listened from 0:55-1:10 and didn't hear a single Halo quote.
