The Cortana feature was very useful in the original Edge. It came in very useful when researching movies or something when Cortana would offer to bring up a page to view it, and it was very useful for online shopping. Times when you see the message to the right of the address bar were decently rare, but it was very useful the times that you did see it. It's hard to mention all the times I could use that feature. It was just very handy and very useful.
