== Development platform ==
Windows 10 supports an extension of the [[Windows Runtime]] platform introduced by [[Windows 8]] known as the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). UWP emphasizes a core set of [[API]]s common to all variations of the operating system, enabling the ability to code a single application with adaptations (such as user interface differences) for different device families and states, including desktops and laptops, tablets, smartphones (via [[Windows 10 Mobile]]), [[Xbox One]], and other new device classes such as [[Surface Hub]] and [[HoloLens]]. An application may also [[Responsive design|react]] to the available displays and input on a device; when connected to a monitor or a suitable [[docking station]], a UWP app on a smartphone can take on the appearance of the app on a PC. Information can also be synchronized between versions of an app for different devices, such as notifications and [[software license|licensing]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/03/02/a-first-look-at-the-windows-10-universal-app-platform/ |title=A first look at the Windows 10 universal app platform |last1=Kevin |first1=Gallo |date=March 2, 2015 |website=Windows Blog |publisher=Microsoft |access-date=March 9, 2015}}</ref><ref name=ars-w10universal>{{cite web |title=Our first look at Windows 10 on phones, and Universal Apps for touchscreens |url=http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/01/our-first-look-at-windows-10-on-phones-and-universal-apps-for-touchscreens/ |website=Ars Technica |accessdate=February 7, 2015}}</ref><ref name=msdn-uwp>{{cite web|title=Guide to Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps|url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn894631.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396|website=MSDN|publisher=Microsoft|accessdate=12 August 2015}}</ref>
== Cortana ==
Windows 10 has added support for the new helper Cortana. Through voice or text you can ask Cortana questions about your the weather, your calender and other types of notifications along with online information. Although Cortana is being added in Windows 10 she debuted on the Windows Phone 8.1. Cortana can also be used for fun as she can tell many jokes, and has hidden Easter Eggs as well.

Windows 10 also allows [[web app]]s and desktop software (using either [[Win32]] or [[.NET Framework]]), to be packaged for distribution on [[Windows Store]]. Desktop software distributed through Windows Store is packaged using the [[App-V]] system to allow [[sandbox (computer security)|sandboxing]]. Web apps are executed from remote servers, and have access to Windows functions such as notifications and camera access. As with Windows 8, locally-packaged web apps can be written using [[HTML]] and [[WinJS]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/microsofts-next-attempt-to-fill-the-windows-10-app-gap-web-app-apps/ |title=Microsoft's next attempt to fill the Windows 10 app gap: Web app apps |last1=Peter |first1=Bright |date=March 3, 2015 |website=Ars Technica |publisher=Condé Nast |access-date=March 9, 2015}}</ref><ref name=zdnet-appvappgap>{{cite web|title=Here's how Microsoft hopes to get Android and iOS phone apps into its Windows 10 Store|url=http://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-microsoft-hopes-to-get-android-and-ios-phone-apps-into-its-windows-10-store/|website=ZDNet|accessdate=May 3, 2015}}</ref>
