The new video may be just an elaborate hoax, though it looks legit

We have reported earlier today on the first video showing Microsoft’s Cortana voice assistant in action, which some have claimed it’s just an elaborate hoax, and now another video has just leaked online.

The source of the leak is the same that published the first video, WPLeak. This time however, we get to taste more of Cortana’s capabilities in a 45-second video.

The leaker shows how Cortana can be used to find directions with the help of HERE Maps. Speaking of which, the HERE Maps application shown in the video seems to be a new version that has yet to be released.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell whether or not this video is legit, but the fact remains that Microsoft promised a solid competitor for Apple’s Siri, so we expect some revolutionary features to be offered via the Cortana voice assistant service.
