Cortana, the digital consigliere coming to Windows Phone 8.1, wonât be represented by the light blue apparition of a woman. Cortana will, appropriately enough, be a halo.
It, uh, she? will be represented by a blue ring that animates whenever sheâs speaking or thinking, says The Verge, citing sources inside Microsoft and providing some screenshots of what Cortana looks like on the phone. Theyâre over at the link.
The Verge has more details on Cortanaâs features but a big one is that she can address users by their nameâor their nicknames, if you prefer to be called, say, âMaster Chief.â
