Hi, when I created package for Microsoft Edit I took into account "edit" name 
at first, however I decided to use "ms-edit" for a few reasons:

- "edit" is really ambiguous name for a package
- the program itself calls itself "Microsoft Edit" in about dialog
- there are a lot of packages with "ms-" prefix that contain Microsoft 
software/assets, so it feels more consistent
- "edit" is a common alias for default editor, in most distros it's defined 
ootb, so I didn't want to use "edit" as a binary name

I don't see a reason why there can't be two packages, especially as they use 
two different binary names.
