The other area of confusion is around the sending of data to Microsoft,
When you want to send an invite to an event to your, (and everyone's), Friend Mike, Cortana needs access to your calendar and address book,
These are held locally and used locally otherwise with all the help Cortana is giving, to the millions of users out there, Microsoft would be buried in data that is irrelevant to them.
They are interested in making it possible for you to invite Mike to a party - they have no intention in joining you, they've got better things to do like make operating systems
