I would like to challenge that claim actually / "SmartScreen" rarely caught things it should have in my experience. Furthermore, Office 365 is so poor at determining what's spam and what isn't, I don't think SmartScreen is going to exhibit any more quality.

Edge is a *horrible* browser that encompasses so many unnecessary limitations, you can't even change the default download location / not to mention in some cases it's slower than Internet Explorer once you really get into it.
