Tim, you raise a good point, but, I want to take it beyond the context of Ask Cortanta/Bing. Many/most people use a small fraction of what's in their computer & what it can do. And many/most are, indeed actually, unaware of what's available. I have been in this for a long time and the info IS there IF one looks for or reads it... do you have to notifications or do you have to be curious. Try stuff, look around, poke at things (click). But, more than that, one can become easily educated & enlighten, but, some instinct has be the impetus to discovery & learning. For those who are prone to find find out what a browser or OS offers, besides trial on error: When browsers are introduced or new Builds of them there is an accompanying "What's New" which, actually, goes though new & already existing details. When OSs or new OS Builds are released, there's "What's New", again. And, how many End Users know about Tips? Tips in the OS talks about basically the whole OS regarding How, What, Where, Why, etc. and all in plain English. And, the 'Show & tell" and available info in the Settings windows is terrific & blossoming as time passes.
One of my company's mottoes is "Education Breeds Empowerment". And person can teach themselves a lot. Just has to occur to one to look (seek), read, it's there & often right at ones fingertips, even, right in ones OS & or browser.
Cheers,
Drew
