How is Cortana? Does it represent a real competition to Siri?

Cortana is a digital assistant that essentially equals Siri lets you do reminders, set alarms, answers your questions, tells jokes, sings, among other things. But, unlike Siri, it is not directly integrated with the operating system, so some functions like making a call or raise application using a voice command with Cortana will be more complicated than with Siri.
