Microsoft spreads the Cortana love to more Insiders with new Windows 10 preview

No, I don't mean the terms and conditions...

Microsoft emitted an update to next year's Windows 10, aka 20H1, last night, with some tweaked networking and the spreading of the creepier-than-you-might-have-realised Cortana to more Insiders.

Build 18956 is very much a steady-as-she-goes affair for Fast Ring Insiders as Microsoft continues to recover from the accidental blurting of the OS to all rings of the Windows Insider program, regardless of the desires of its unpaid army of amateur testers.

A user can then drop into the network to see what is actually using that precious data and slap on limits accordingly (although only on a network basis at present.)

As if to underline the inconsequentiality of the thing, Microsoft suggests wheezes such as asking it the weather, or requesting a joke.

The underlying assistant technology will, of course, find its way into Office.
