Cortana has lots to say about Clippy, Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates, and Satya Nadella

You knew there had to be Easter Eggs in Cortana. It is basically impossible to create a voice assistant without giving it some fun things to talk about. Over the past day, testers have been asking Cortana quite a bit, and have found that she has a lot to say on a number of important Microsoft figures, like Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, and even Clippy.
We've gathered some of the best ones in a video clip below, but of course Cortana usually has multiple responses for the same question. If you ask if she likes Clippy, she'll say things like, "Definitely. He taught me how important it is to listen." The best response for the question "Do you like Steve Ballmer?" is "You could power Cleveland with that guy's energy!" On the subject of Bill Gates, Cortana says, "I quite literally can't imagine a world without him." And, if you ask if she likes Xbox, she'll say, "Halo is where the heart is. Home is where the Halo is."
Surprisingly, Cortana doesn't have a witty answer if you ask if she knows or if she likes Master Chief. No doubt, we'll be getting word of more fun questions and answers from Cortana.
