Cortana coming to Android and later to iOS as well

Microsoft officially confirmed today that they will be bringing Cortana, their famous virtual assistant to Android and iOS, for those whose don't know what Cortana is, it's Microsoft's virtual assistant that rivals Siri and Google now, Cortana has the advantage that it utilizes the good information providing features of Google now while having a personality like Siri thus it's basically a mixture of both.

Microsoft said they will release the Android version by end of June and the iOS  version by fall this year, Cortana will integrate with other Microsoft Apps which are already on both Android and iOS such as OneNote, Word, Powerpoint etc. this will greatly help Microsoft gather more users for it's apps, specially considering that Windows 10 will integrate heavily with these apps thus this will be a  good thing for Microsoft who have recently been keen to diversify by releasing their famous tools on other platforms, it will definitely help Windows Mobile 10 in the long run.

Cortana runs great on Windows Phone 8.1 devices, even beats Google Now and Siri at most tasks what do you think will it maintain it's greatness when it will rival them on their own platforms?
