Its what it can do over what Siri is able to do, that makes Cortana superior.
The irony of both your posts...
In other news - I don't have a problem with Cortana's responses being altered as this is a commercial. When Apple promotes Siri, they also alter results, timing, etc to get their point across.
No different.
To some extent though you have hit the nail on the head - Apple have had Siri for years before Cortana - Siri should be years ahead. It isn't.
Two different things - you can't tell that traffic three miles from your house will be bad and that you should leave early.
You can look in your toilet to see if you need new paper.
Why do you think morning news includes traffic? It's the exact same concept.
Siri is becoming an embarrassment for Apple
Sadly, the trailblazing voice recognition interface is becoming an embarrassment for Apple. Siri's capabilities just don't compare with GoogleNow or even Cortana anymore.. yes, Cortana, from, gasp, Microsoft.
If I had a choice to replace Siri with GoogleNow as my phone's integrated assistance, I would do it in a heartbeat. The voice recognition is much more reliable, and the quality of the answers actually makes GoogleNow feel like artificial intelligence. Siri has a lot to catch up to, and unfortunately, every year the gap to Google's product gets bigger and bigger.

A friend of mine took this picture the other day. Microsoft fixed the typo the next day but we got a chuckle out of the irony

Oh. LOL! Weird how the brain reads things based on a few letters. Jeez, that's a big sign too. I can imagine expensive to replace.
Yes, that's why when I design things I get someone else to proofread it. I've done meetings with Microsoft people and they are very careful with everything. I was surprised to see this easy mistake. And at LA Live of all places.
Fixed version:
oh shoot.
I did...Point taken... But to their defense, those were ads of a different nature - they were clever and funny, and never really explicitly targeted microsoft or any of their products by name (i think)...

They had a few ads where they targeted an OS by name that I can remember.
