Windows 10: Use Cortana for WMC...anyone know ?

Hey all,

Always like to keep the WMC subject new and fresh if I can. I was trying to see an ADVANAGE of building a Windows 10 HTPC over Windows 7 using WMC. Althoughif you use the DESKTOP for things, there is an avanatge of using Windows 10 but, ONLY WMC, there is very little advanage if anything it might be a negitive over using strait up Windows 7.

So, it made me think, Microsoft has the APIs available to program Cortana to work with apps. As WMC SHOULD be fully Indexed in Windows, with recorded and live shows, Movie library, Music, etc. If a programmer could access the data and it get indexed into Cortana, it might be possable to call Cortana find XX show, or movie, or even PLAY a song.

I'm not a programmer but, this would be freaking cool if it can be done and give a major perk to WMC on WIndows 10.
