On Android 6 you can change the app for Assist and voice input to Cortana for example.

You can even turn it off completely.

In the exact same way, you can change the app you use for searches on Windows to Google Now, even disable Cortana completely.

Actually the latest insider build (14332) removes all options to disable Cortana. Before you had to opt-in with "get to know me", now it's on at first boot and can't be turned off.

It's no longer possible to rid Windows 10 of Cortana without breaking the start menu and search bar: http://superuser.com/questions/949569/can-i-completely-disab...

I recently tried to remove Cortana, because I personally find voice search worse than useless. I don't want my start menu searches being sent to MSFT. SteamOS for gaming can't come soon enough.
