Cortana can tell you the time worldwide and compute currency calculations

As the days go on, Cortana users learn more and more about the things that the personal assistant can accomplish. Some of these features are admittedly already available from Siri and Google Now. But Cortana users might not have thought about asking Cortana to handle these tasks. For example, let's say you are sitting in your living room in Orlando, Florida and you want to call your buddy Jean in Paris. Of course, you don't want to call at the wrong time and wake up your friend. So you can ask Cortana for the time in Paris and know for sure if it is okay to make that call.

Another task that Cortana can accomplish, is the conversion of currency. Let's say you were offered a job that pays 1 million Japanese Yen. You might think that you've become a millionaire. But before you start bragging to friends and family, you should ask Cortana to convert Yen into Dollars. Perhaps you didn't know that currency fluctuates. Ask Cortana to convert 1 million Yen into U.S. Dollars and you will find out that your job is actually paying you under $9600.

Siri and Google Now have both been able to handle world time and currency conversions. But Windows Phone users have no reason to be jealous. After all, Cortana can handle the exact same tasks.
