Enter.

Middle: She can provide a useful panel of background information on any word or term
you highlight in a web article. This feature can save you a lot of trips to Wikipedia.

You’ll know Cortana has something for you when her round logo (indicated by the
cursor) starts flipping in a frenetic animation. Click it to open up her surprise panel.

Shopping alternatives. When you’re poised to buy something on
Amazon.com or another shopping site, you may spot the phrase
“Want some other options?” in your Address Book. Choose that

phrase to open a panel that shows the same item on other big
shopping sites (Walmart, eBay, and so on); now and then, you’ll
discover that you can save money using a different site.

Song lyrics. This one’s good. Whenever you’re watching a music
video (for example, on YouTube), the Cortana logo in the address
bar may do a little animated flip. That’s your cue to click it to open

a right-side panel that contains the full lyrics for the song.

Restaurant details. Someday, Microsoft says, you’ll be able to

type the name of a restaurant into the address bar and marvel as a
button appears that says, “I’ve got directions, hours, and more.”

Choose that link, and an info panel for the restaurant will appear—
with directions, hours, and more!

Alas, Microsoft has to hand-rig each restaurant to this feature, so

it’s available for a relatively small number of them.

Edge as PDF (and Ebook) Reader

You may think of Edge as a web browser, but Microsoft has bigger plans
for it. Now, more than ever, it’s the primary Windows viewer for PDF
documents and ebooks. You can annotate them, mark them up, adjust the

font, layout, and background, and even have them read aloud to you. (What
better audio background as you get dressed for work than your PC reading
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to you for inspiration?)
