I understand its not tailored for Malaysia since its only beta and released for US.

For those who using it I'm curious how or what do you use it for

Why can't use? Just now I asked Cortana where's the nearest McD, she gave me very accurate results. Also asked how's the weather in Kedah, she gave a forecast (but in Fahrenheit, how to change eh?)

You can also ask Cortana to set a reminder when u reach somewhere.

For example, "Remind me to buy groceries when I reach home". Cortana will save a reminder. The next time u reach home, that reminder will popup on ur phone (Cortana doesnt actually say it, just a normal tone).

I use it often to send SMS while driving, using bluetooth to activate Cortana.

Make sure in language settings, English (United States) is at the top. To move it up, just hold down on that languages and a menu will appear (Select "move up" on that menu).

after setting your region do check your language setting.

English (United States) MUST be on TOP of the list.

you can add your secondary language later.
