A Quick Leak, As Microsoft Tests the Waters For Cortana On Android

An anonymous reader writes with the news from Venture Beat that a beta of Cortana for Android (long promised) has leaked into the wild via Finnish upload site SuomiMobiili, and from there to others, like APKMirror. From the article: We asked Microsoft where this leak may have come from. "In the spirit of the Windows Insider Program, we're testing the Cortana for Android beta with a limited number of users in the U.S. and China before releasing the beta publicly in the next few weeks," a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat.

Cortana?

It's ok summary writer person. You don't need to put in any effort to explain what Cortana is or why we might care.

Stop calling these leaks

If it really was a leak Microsoft would call the FBI. This is just PR:

Leak n. a synonym for a public relations announcement, dressed to sound more exciting, but which by insulting the target audience's intelligence ends up irritating rather than fooling them

Of course

I want both Google and Microsoft to know every aspect of my life.
