Member AnonTechie guides us to an article at The Verge, "Leak reveals Cortana, Windows Phone 8.1's mashup of Siri and Google Now."
From the article:
Microsoft's upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 update will include Cortana, a personal digital assistant designed to rival Siri and Google Now. Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans have revealed to The Verge how Cortana looks and operates, replacing the built-in Bing search functionality on Windows Phone 8.1. While the feature is named after the Halo game series, Cortana will take the form of a circular animated icon instead of a female character. Cortana will animate when it's speaking or thinking, forming a personality not dissimilar to Apple's Siri.

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

"Cortana will take the form of a circular animated icon"
Should have used a little animated paperclip. I bet everyone would love that.
The wheel of IT eternally rotates and every dumb idea becomes new and brilliant, for a little while. Forever. This is just Microsoft Bob all over again.
As my educational project to learn Android I was going to clone MS Bob as accurately as possible but I just couldn't get the motivation to do it, in preference to everything else.
