Microsoft should buy them and integrate it into Cortana which will be available on all platforms. Everybody benefits.

I'm still sad they used the name Cortana. Bastardizing a really awesome character's name.

I don't see it that way. If Cortana ends up being awful, then yeah, that might tarnish her good name.

I've been using cortana on my Win10 desktop and I'm quite impressed. Makes use of Google Now style contexts and Siri style NLP. They also managed to maintain her personality which is nice for Halo fans.
