First look: Windows 10 for smartphones

Today Microsoft unveiled how Windows 10 will look and feel on a smartphone.

Microsoft gave us a first look at the new OS today during its Windows 10 event in Seattle. Windows 10’s arrival on smartphones is by no means surprising — but now Windows fans have a closer look at how the OS will work. Let’s dive right in:

Here’s the new keyboard in Windows 10.

And here’s Word for Windows 10, which will be included for free on phones.

And here’s Powerpoint.

Outlook will be a universal app — it will run on phones, tablets, and PCs.

Here’s Microsoft’s Photos app, another universal application.

As we’ve said, Microsoft has as many as six big announcements planned for today, including a sneak peek at Windows Phone 10, a new browser (codenamed “Spartan”), and the next big step for Cortana (Microsoft’s Siri competitor).
