Good for times when the voice-activated digital assistant isn’t paying attention
Microsoft’s voice-activated digital assistant Cortana is among a handful of visible changes that set the about-to-RTM Windows 10 apart from its predecessors, but the company has made sure not to tout it as a defining feature — that honor is reserved for the Start Menu. That’s probably because it’s new to the desktop and lacks the necessary polish to headline an operating system release as important this one. But do you know what’s worse than a sporadically misfiring digital assistant? One that doesn’t fire up at all.
This is one issue that Toshiba is trying to tackle. It has decided to give Cortana a dedicated keyboard button on each and every one of its Windows 10-running laptops, or, as the company itself put it, “across the board, top to bottom.” Jeff Barney, general manager and vice president of Toshiba’s American PC division, told PCWorld the dedicated Cortana key will sit right next to the function key in the top left corner of the keyboard.
