I disabled that crap anyway because of the privacy issues. No different than Siri on an iPhone, but I don't own an iPhone either.

Cortana has some of the most sweeping privacy-related settings, but it?s also one of the most useful new features, which means you have to decide whether turning it off is worth the privacy. In order to work, Cortana logs your voice (to process what you?re saying), location (to give you location-specific answers), your writing (to answer questions), your contacts (so you can reference them), calendar events (so it can create, delete, or give information about your upcoming appointments), and more. That?s a lot of stuff!
Of course, it?s also very similar to Siri and Google Now, which collect a lot of the same data (but on your phone instead of your PC).
