I think to bring Cortana to Edge is a good idea. People who're using windows 7 can use Cortana without updating to windows 10.

P/s: I'm still like windows 7 than windows 10 just coz it's easier to use

Oh if you're on Windows 7 you Won't be able to use Cortana feature in Edge insider. the integration does not mean that they are going to embed the whole Cortana program into the browser. the browser sends and calls commands from/to Cortana app inside Windows 10.

      Yeah but don't worry, just switch to Windows 10 and you will be good to go with Cortana and everything ^^
      the end of life for Windows 7 is January 2020, that's 11 years of service 🙂

        HotCakeX Not everyone likes Win10. 😉

        I've been on Win7 Ultimate since it was released, and I like the ability to schedule my Windows Updates for when I know I will be asleep, and I like the colored icons in the Win7 user interface. When I did move up to Win10 (during the "free upgrade" period), Windows Update would run whenever the h*** it wanted (just because I went afk for 5 minutes did not mean I intended to be offline for 30 minutes!), which meant it was rebooting when I still had unsaved data in a program. Plus the Win10 user interface is too blocky, its icons too easily confusable for those of us with less than stellar eyesight. 

        As long as I can continue to run Win7, I'll happily give up Cortana as I don't need it anyway. But please don't assume EVERYONE wants to move to Win10 for something that COULD be backported to 7 if Microsoft saw enough of a market to make it worthwhile. 🙂
