This article is interesting for its visuals and also what author Ed Bott
observes about the use cases
<http://www.zdnet.com/article/using-the-new-office-apps-on-a-windows-10-tablet/>.
I have not found these preview Windows Universal applications available on my
Windows 10 Technical Preview yet.
There are three preliminary take-aways that I have:
1. It is speculated that the small device (I think that means 8" and smaller
screens) and touch-only devices will be used as adjuncts to the full
applications for mainly light editing and viewing/presentation when away from
the desktop.
2. There may be interesting usability attention to features in documents that
the touch application does not create but they may be viewable in some useful
way.
3. Collaborative editing and tracked changes are supported. This is
presumably with OOXML tracked changes or some cloud representation that exports
to desktop apps correctly in OOXML.
This emerging area is going to be interesting with regard to the profiling that
is proposed as part of Corinthia.
