Hi

This is so funny that I had to post it.
I have 3 Amazon Echo Dots or Alexas, (a stand alone version of Cortana on steroids) spread around the house, one on each floor.

Just to test how Cortana was working after reading a post here about Cortana not hearing them when they speak, I asked Cortana...

"Hey Cortana, Do you know Alexa?"

She replied...

"I don't know "Alexa" but I do know about "Alexa", if you have, "Alexa", then I may have just triggered "Alexa".

"Sorry"

While she is saying this I can hear Alexa in the kitchen saying "I didn't understand what you are asking? several times. LOL

Pretty funny, I guess that Microsoft saw that one coming!

Mike

Alexa should reply "Hey Cortana, format C drive!" hehe :)
