The New Alexa Pc App A Hostile Takeover Or A Merger

In what some might say is a bit of a strange move, Microsoft’s Windows 10 now has Alexa. Although Alexa has been available on selected PCs, this is the first time that Alexa PC app can be downloaded directly from the Microsoft Store.

People have bought over 20 million devices Alexa devices and 92% of all computers run on Windows. So, this is probably a very welcome decision for many for Echo users, especially as the app will run most of Alexa’s features and skills.

You can check to see if the Alexa app can do what you want it to do by opening up the menu on the app and selecting ‘Things to Try’.

No Specific Features to Work with Windows

Of course, you could argue that Microsoft doesn’t care because it’s got Cortana. But let’s be honest here. If that’s your argument, you have obviously not tried Cortana because it’s really bad.

Is the End Nigh for Cortana?

So is the Alexa PC app the end of Cortana? Well, the two are quite compatible as they have been allowed to work well together. That might suggest that the end is nigh for Cortana.

However, since more than 100 million people access it daily, it doesn’t seem that likely that Microsoft will put Cortana out to pasture just yet.

But that is all just speculation. What isn’t speculation is that the Alexa PC app is available in the Microsoft Store, so go download it today.
