I'm really excited for this release and especially excited about Cortana. If it works as advertised I'll be buying a windows phone. I'm ready for a device that i can just talk to with a normal voice and ask it stuff.

I'm a bit amused that you think Cortana will outshine Google Now in this area. Let me guess, you're used to Siri?

It works fairly well, in the manner of Siri. It copes with moderate Scottish accents, which is impressive. The downsides are that you have to have location services turned on (bad for battery) and, like Siri, everything you say is recorded and may be farmed out mechanical-turk style for analysis.
