Toshiba Introduces a Cortana Keyboard Button For Windows 10

Posted by timothy on from the remapping-possible dept.

Ammalgam writes: In what seems like a really pivotal moment for computing, Toshiba have indicated that they will be introducing a new button to their line of keyboards. This key would be dedicated to summoning Microsoft's virtual assistant in Windows 10 — Cortana. A dedicated Cortana key would be one of the more significant changes to the keyboard since the Windows key was added at about the time Windows 95 was introduced, in 1995.

    Oh, remember all those times you used that e-mail button on your keyboard to start your mail program, or the globe button to launch the web browser. I can't even imagine life before I had those. I bet this will be just as successful!

    *presses Cortana key*
    Me: Quit metro app
    Cortana: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
    Me: Go fuck yourself!!!
    *Windows 10 shuts down*
    Me: I guess the Esc key does work after all.
