Re: Distractions & Edge: the New Browser from MS

I've been using Edge for a while on the WIndows 10 Preview and I think
the "distraction free" bit boils down to a) a nice clean UI and b) a
reading mode.

Cortana (the voice controlled assistant) will be built in too.
Currently I've had little luck with Cortana on Windows 10 desktop but
I think the UK build is behind the US one.

I agree it's great they are going in the right direction.

Also for developers project Oxford looks like providing services
useful for improved a11y (on Azure, the MS cloud platform, of course)
