• Tone is about getting help in choosing words and grammar for a specific purpose, so that what you write is better adapted to a particular type of communication. Formal emails, for example, can help Bing maintain a professional tone.

• The search function makes it easy to search the web without leaving the application opened directly from the keyboard. Maybe you want to dig up some facts, or find out what the weather is like before a trip you’re planning with a group.
