Cortana, Microsoft's assistant technology, likewise will be able to learn and adapt, relying on machine-learning technology and the "Satori" knowledge repository powering Bing.

Cortana will be more than just an app that lets users interact with their phones more naturally using voice commands. Cortana is core to the makeover of the entire "shell" -- the core services and experience -- of the future versions of Windows Phone, Windows and the Xbox One operating systems.

Since it is still in development, it will take couple of more years to show up.


Edit:

Also, people think the name "Cortana" is cool, so they want MS to keep it .....

Petition for Microsoft to make to code name Cortana official already has 2000 votes
 
Oh man, naming it cortana would be sweet. I'm not sure I even understand exactly what it is but if they named it cortana, I'm sold!
