Microsoft announced back in January that new devices below 8 inches would receive a new version of Windows 10, different from what Insiders are able to test today, and very similar to Windows 10 Phone. This new version of Windows 10 would be built off the Windows 10 Mobile side of things, meaning it won't have a desktop and will run Windows Phone and Universal apps.
Up until now, we've not seen how this new tablet experience looks. The screenshots in which we provide today are from a build which is far from finished, therefore a number of UI elements may look a little funky. This is normal and will be rectified before RTM later this year.
I've had the chance to sit down and play with this new version of Windows, and from my first experiences it feels great. The new Windows 10 apps are designed to scale at almost all screen sizes. When running on Windows 10 tablets, this is no different. Apps like Calculator and Voice Recorder take advantage of the extra real estate, displaying the apps as if they were desktop apps instead of phone apps.
