A series of leaked screenshots shows the Cortana digital assistant in action on Windows 9. This is good news for the new operating system, and one more reason to look forward to it in action.

The German site WinFuture, which has released a series of leaked Windows 9 screenshots and videos, published the latest screenshots. It shows what seems to be a basic version of Cortana running on the Windows 9 Technical Preview.

The Cortana interface in the Technical Preview is barebones, but the screens show a variety of Cortana reminders, including for time, people, and location. The Verge reports that the Cortana implementation in the Windows 9 Technical Preview will be incomplete. It also says that several other Windows Phone features will be ported to Windows 9, including two features called Storage Sense and WiFi Sense. Storage Sense watches what files you store on your drive, and helps you better manage your storage before it gets full. WiFi Sense makes it easier to automatically connect to WiFi networks.
