Images of what Windows 10 will look like on small tablets are filtered

Since January we know that Microsoft plans to launch a special edition of Windows 10 designed for small tablets, less than 8 inches, without the desk. And now, thanks to the Winbeta site, we can finally have a more accurate idea of ​​what this version of Redmond's operating system will look like.

This is because Winbeta has had exclusive access to a build of Windows 10 for tablets, which was compiled last March, and they have shared screenshots of it. In these images we see how the UI of this Windows will be very similar to that of Windows 10 for mobile phonesOf course, the ability of universal applications to scale the interface will allow to take advantage of the additional inches that these tablets offer compared to mobile phones.

"The screenshots show us that the calculator, file explorer, and voice recorder applications make good use of available screen space by displaying a multi-column UI. Other apps seem a little more unfinished, looking just like scaled-down Windows Phone apps, and the same goes for the Start screen."

Microsoft's promise is that this will change, and that all universal apps will be able to seamlessly adapt to different existing screen sizes on Windows devices. The appearance of the Start screen should also be improved to be more optimized for small tablets.

Mouse support and other accessories

An interesting detail revealed by Winbeta is that Windows 10 for small tablets will have full support for Bluetooth mouse pointers, along with other accessories.

This isn't so strange considering that there was already talk that Windows 10 for mobile would offer support for docks and connections to external displays , but since it is already confirmed, we can get the idea that these tablets will work in a similar way to what Windows RT tablets were at the time: small and light devices , with great battery life, with compatibility only for store applications, but the possibility of using mouse and keyboard anyway.

And while that approach hasn't worked in the past in the 10-inch range, it can probably achieve some success in the 7-8-inch range inches, which is where it will be competed now.

"Let&39;s hope that Microsoft continues to work on improving and customizing the interface of this edition of Windows (and hopefully this is consistent with tablet mode>"
