Interesting how the tables have turned on the Mac vs PC commercials. It's now Microsoft that makes them.
Ummm... No you don't have to say her name everytime. I use her on my Lumia 1520. I'm in the UK and she is only in Beta for the U.S, but already I get better functionality and more consistant voice recognition.
Ugh, still using the old voice even though they're depicting iOS 7. But more glaringly, I create location based reminders primarily with Siri, what are they talking about?

Seems to be lifted from the Halo game series, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortana
Google Now produces a lot more accurate results for me. I have a non-native English accent.
According to Apple maps, my country is a huge land with 2 or three roads in it. While Google maps shows almost every road and directions, navigations works perfectly.
I still can't believe why I'm still using the iPhone.

The only reason I have an iPhone is I develop iOS apps for clients.
does anyone actually use "siri" or "cortana"? the only thing i use dictation for is texting down the interstate

i guess you answered your own question
It's intensely recognisable. The original Siri voice will always be recognised by more people than the new one.Ugh, still using the old voice even though they're depicting iOS 7.
I actually think it's effective advertising. Being biased is the whole point of advertising.This might actually be a great software, but I'd be a lot less biased if they didn't directly compare their phone to the iPhone. Especially the Siri voice basically literally saying "I'm such a bad phone, the Lumia is much better" is just uncreative and dumb. It's really lazy advertising in my eyes.
All siri like personal assistants will be able to do this in a year. I just see this as good ideas that every manufacturer will develop. By ios9, I'm sure siri will be able to do this.
Annoying choice of pronoun...
