Microsoft Edge has got a set of links to Office apps and Microsoft 365 web services on the New Tab page. There is an app launcher button that opens a new flyout with a set of links to web apps.

The change is already available in the Canary branch of Edge (see the list of actual Edge versions below).
Once you click on the app button on the New Tab page, Edge will open the following menu:
It includes links to web versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Calendar, OneDrive, OneNote, To Do, and Skype.
The "All apps" link reveals more apps, including Bing, MSN, Privacy, and Rewards.
Microsoft is now using the New Tab page to make its own services more discoverable for the end user, and to provide a faster way to open them for existing Microsoft 365 users.

Microsoft Edge is now a Chromium-based browser with a number of exclusive features like Read Aloud and services tied to Microsoft instead of Google. The browser has already received a few updates, with support for ARM64 devices in Edge Stable 80. Also, Microsoft Edge is still supporting a number of aging Windows versions, including Windows 7, which has recently reached its end of support. Check out Windows Versions Supported by Microsoft Edge Chromium and Edge Chromium latest roadmap. Finally, interested users can download MSI installers for deployment and customization.
For pre-release versions, Microsoft is currently using three channels to deliver updates to Edge Insiders. The Canary channel receives updates daily (except Saturday and Sunday), the Dev channel is getting updates weekly, and the Beta channel is updated every 6 weeks. Microsoft is going to support Edge Chromium on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, alongside macOS, Linux (coming in the future) and mobile apps on iOS and Android. Windows 7 users will receive updates until July 15, 2021.
