A massive improvement has been brought in Cortana also. In Windows tablets which have pen accessory, Cortana can use the device pen to make notes with Cortana Notebook, recognize email and phone numbers and remind you to message, mail or call your acquaintances. The new improved Cortana can even book movie tickets, book cabs using Uber. However not all features are available on all devices.
