We are missing another week in Xataka Windows, and we all know what that means: a new compilation with the best of the last 7 days , along with other relevant links that we have not managed to comment on here.
"
It is clear that the most powerful news of the week was the appearance of Cortana in Spanish, something that was already seen coming, but That doesn&39;t stop us from rejoicing all Windows Phone users. He also highlighted the purchase of 57,000 Lumias by BMW for its employees, a good sign of greater penetration of Windows Phone in the business market... and of course, the leaked images of the alleged Lumia 1030, which according to Tom Warren correspond to the already discarded McLaren , but that in any case give us cause to dream about how we want a successor to the Lumia 1020 to be."
Along with that, we had the review of the Lumia 735 and 830 made by our colleagues from Xataka Móvil, and also these other news in the Microsoft universe:
"
Despite the fact that the seasonal sales on Steam have ended, there are still offers that we can take advantage of.

There are also discounts of up to 66% on games nominated for the 2014 Las Vegas Game Awards. Offers end Monday at 6PM Spain time, and 2PM Chile and Argentina time."
And in the freaky video category, we have this gem where the creator of Cortana, Marcus Ash, starts to dance to celebrate his 40th birthday , with the stellar participation of Joe Belfiore at minute 3:00.
