FIGURE 6-6 Cortana is integrated into Microsoft Edge and offers additional information for some webpages.<br />

Cortana is also available if you select a word or phrase on a webpage and then right-click and<br />

choose Ask Cortana, or if you begin to navigate to a webpage for an interest you chose to track. For example,<br />

if you choose to track a flight tomorrow and begin to type in the address of your airline, Cortana<br />

immediately tells you if your flight is on time—without you having to visit the website, navigate to the<br />

flight status page, and enter the flight information manually.<br />

Unlike Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge will receive smaller, iterative updates on a regular basis—<br />

similar to other browsers, and in keeping with the promise of Windows as a service—so it’s likely to<br />

become more feature-rich over time. The November 2015 update to Windows <strong>10</strong>, for example, includes<br />

the ability to cast media to a compatible device such as an Xbox One, the much-requested ability to<br />

sync Favorites, and a tab preview option, as shown in Figure 6-7.<br />

preview of its contents.<br />
