   This is why an open source option is imperative. Microsoft is basically throwing in the towel here, and even at their best they weren't a great option anyway. That doesn't really affect the "serious" assistant field since Amazon and Google already dominate, and Cortana and Siri are next in line with single digit market penetration. We really need an option that isn't just a data miner in a very poor disguise.
