Cortana is Even Better

You may not think it is possible for Cortana to get better but it has.

Additionally, Cortana now loves music. Cortana is now compatible with more music apps and you can control the music directly from iHeartRadio and TuneIn Radio.

Also, when the computer is idle, Cortana will now take up the entire screen and the experience is spectacular.
