Microsoft's Cortana quietly snuck onto to Android in a meaningful this week in a small but telling move that you probably missed unless you own a OnePlus One..
[...] while Siri works best with Apple apps and services, the Cortana integration promises to be deeper.
"When Apple launched Apple Music at WWDC, they showed the Siri integration with Apple Music. Siri doesn't power Spotify like that so we can do these kind of things with for example, integration of Microsoft's Cortana into the OS enabling natural language to power Spotify and other services," Cyanogen CEO Kirk McMaster said in an interview with International Business Times last year.
It isn't clear when this feature will roll out to other Cyanogen-compatible devices, but already this ambitious startup is getting serious with its quest to "steal Android away from Google".

I am going to assume this will not be integrated into the [Cyanogenmod] distribution
We'll see.
I think you overestimate the extremely low price some folks put on their souls as well as the percentage of its wealth M$ is willing to dedicate to its dirty-deeds warchest.
...and, having failed at anti-Android FUD, [soylentnews.org] M$ has moved on to another big item in its playbook: E,E,E. [wikipedia.org]
At this point, a really good idea is to assure that the device you are scoping out is Replicant-compatible. [soylentnews.org]
