How about you let me strip it completely out of Windows 10 instead of just turning/disabling it mostly off?

- wrenky 11y agoDo you mean get all the features in windows 10 ported to iOS and android? Cortana integrates pretty deeply into the OS for that to happen.. Apple/Google would have to allow it and THATS not happening :)
- vetinari 11y agoNo, he means having Windows 10 without Cortana. Regarding integration - what is integrating so deeply, that it needs special handling? Google Now runs entirely with public API.
- KirinDave 11y agoYou can disable all its callback features. All that's left is the interface to windows search. 9)% of what Cortana is is just a new cross-entity search framework for your stuff. But you can turn it all off by unpairing it (or just using an local Win10 Account). Or you can keep squatting on Windows 7 until it EOLs and use a desktop OS that manages to be even more dated than Mac OS X.
- fweespeech 11y ago> You can disable all its callback features. The fact I have to write a host file to do that makes it rather irritating but, yes, with a local account and the appropriate host file and all the features turned off it sorta-works. The concern is Windows Update will turn it back on as it has with other things in the past.
- KirinDave 11y agoWhich OS do you use? OSX does the as-you-type requests too. Last time I looked wasn't Ubuntu doing it as well?
- fweespeech 11y agoI primarily use Debian, I use Windows for gaming. And Ubuntu actually lets you shut it off relatively easily fyi.
- KirinDave 11y agoIf only Ubuntu could make it easier to run package updates 6 months continuously.
