Cons
Con Functionality is limited on non-Windows devices
While Cortana is available on Android and iOS, certain features on those operating systems are either limited or non-existant. For example, there's no hands-free voice activation on iOS, and on Android it's only available on the homescreen and nowhere else, etc.
Con Windows only
No Linux, OSX or mobile versions are available.
Con Free version comes with limited functionality
The free version does not include the most exciting Braiana features, like speech-to-text, custom commands, a "self-learning brain" and so on. That´s why I unfortunately didn´t click the download button this time.
