Today Microsoft promised to release a set of Office
applications called “Universal” by the end of April for smartphones running Windows
10.
The company has a two-prong productivity strategy in place for Windows:
1. Office 2016 for desktop use,
2. For all other Windows 10 experiences.
Windows 10 experiences is a touch-focused Office Universal apps. The latter apps, according to Microsoft, will function across tablets and smartphones, dynamically changing their design to allow users to better use them based on their current screen size.
The two names for the two groups of apps are Office Desktop and Office Universal might seem a bit odd, given that the Universal apps aren’t quite designed to be. The universal tag is instead more useful in the mobile context. These are the apps you will use across Windows devices whenever you’re not at your desk typing away happily on a full-sized keyboard.
Here’s a shot of the Universal Word app, as shared by Microsoft this morning:
We’ve known for some time that the Universal applications will be free for smartphones and tablets. So, if you do test them out, you can leave your wallet at home.
