Microsoft's Cortana Doesn't Put Up With Sexual Harassment (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: Not long after Apple unveiled its Siri personal assistant to the world, it took very little time before people began asking her outrageous questions, sometimes inappropriate or just humorous, if for no other reason than they just could. When creating Cortana, Microsoft was well-aware of what its digital assistant was going to have to deal with, so, believe it or not, it was designed in such a way to handle abuse in a specific manner. According to Microsoft's Deborah Harrison, who is one of eight writers for Cortana, a chunk of the earliest queries were about Cortana's sex life. A specific goal was to make sure Cortana wasn't treated as a subservient. If she's insulted, she doesn't apologize or back down. She handles it with tact, so as to reduce the chance of further abuse.
Keep your PC bullshit to yourselves.
So, use a Mac?
APK quotes people (including myself) without context and should not be trusted. Just thought you should know.
The correct answer is none - they expect to be able to hold the light bulb steady and have the whole universe turn around them.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.

An Apple a day will keep Cortana away...
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Honey, is that you?
You are welcome on my lawn.
