Basically it runs just in the memory and does not store information on a hard disk, so your information is only temporary in the memory and will vanish as soon as the server reboots or shuts down. I don't know if they have others, you can maybe ask support or maybe there is something on their site.
My guess is, they killing cortana because of their copilot software, which is basically the same - but better. They would heave to maintain basically the same product, so they dumped it.
As i see it, using a computer, smartphone or any other device with your voice has a lot of benefits and is used a lot around the world. But it is used in a different scenario than a mouse/keyboard is used and i'm pretty sure they are aware of it. Even they don't see people sitting at their desk talking to their computer all day long.
I agree, they will probably kill off copilot in the next few OS and replace it with something different. They want to be competitive with software from other vendors, so they jump to the "next new thing".

I agree. I already have my password manager so i don't want to save passwords in the browser. But it is a good start, i'm looking forward to what's coming, as soon as it is out of beta.
Personally I don't think it is a bad thing. as long as it is oss, i think it is fine.
