Microsoft has introduced its long-awaited answer to Siri and Google Now and it is indeed called Cortana, named after the artificial intelligence character from the company's flagship video game franchise Halo.

To be fair, the Halo Bungie wanted to make was a pretty far cry different from what M$ had them turn it into. Bungie was well-paid. Successful whore is successful. No one can say that Bungie's original concept would have fared as well, and M$ dumped a shitload of money marketing it.

I appreciate that position. However, Cortana was the blade of Ogier the Dane, why would they name... man I can't even.

Sounds more like SAL anyway.

A Bungie theme I really appreciate. Quick quiz: What are all the historical named personal weapons?

Durandal (Marathon) was Roland's sword, given to him by Charlemagne.
