Most of the stuff is in OS X; smarter Spotlight with natural language processing, data detectors, dictation and so on. We just don't have a single assistant to speak to handle all of that automatically in the background.
Honestly, I could care less about Siri. The performance/stability is the most important factor for me and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far from the first beta.

I don't find myself using siri that much now as it is...that may change with iOS 9 but i'm not getting my hopes up. Don't see cortana on windows as a huge feature. I've used it on the Windows 10 beta and it was ok just I didnt' see myself using it.
Just so you know, Snap is the only feature they "took" from windows. Besides that, Windows 10 took Mission Control, Expose, etc from OS X. So Snap was coming, its not a surprise. Apple cared about perfecting the multitasking on the multi monitor / multi desktop level first. Snapping can be done easily and its been proven by ShiftIt(free/open source) and Divvy(paid).
Siri would have been nice, but I think they need to focus on stability and performance. Adding such a major feature to OS X would have required a lot more time and energy. In other words, they'd not be able to do the bug fixes and performance enhancements AND give us Siri.
After 3 point updates, Yosemite still sucks on some stuff like WiFi and UI lag. I'm really glad they didn't waste time on adding features most people won't use in order to focus on performance.
I couldn't really care about Siri on mac... but I'm sure it will come.
OSX catching up.... now that is a bit of a joke. With Windows 10, Microsoft is actually finally catching up with OSX. Windows have implemented multi-desktop mission control after how many years! Now that is a highly useful feature. It also seems the search on Win 10 is finally of some use. Also a clean UI at last.

I still think that Windows 7 is the best. However Windows 10 will be free if you buy it on the first year.
I used to laugh at people complaining that MS will drop the support on Windows XP. Look at Apple… Lion is already unsupported.
With that avatar you should probably be aware that Microsoft copied that feature from KDE/Compiz.
"Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."
