New Windows 10 Mobile preview includes universal Office apps

From CNET: Microsoft on Thursday is making available another Windows 10 Mobile preview build for phones to Windows Insider testers.

The new build, 10080, works on more Windows Phones -- including Lumia Icon, Lumia 930 and Lumia 640/640XL devices -- as well as the first non-Lumia phone supported by the preview, the HTC One (M8) for Windows. These devices haven't been able to run Windows 10 Mobile test builds so far because of screen scaling issues, according to company officials.

Microsoft is rebranding its mobile operating system. The company announced Wednesday that it's reviving the Windows Mobile name, putting an end to Windows Phone. Officials have said the Windows 10 Mobile release won't be available at the same time as Windows 10 for PCs, laptops and larger tablets. It will still be available later this year for existing Windows 8.1 and new Windows Phones, but not in late summer, which is the target for the Windows 10 Desktop releases.

Microsoft also is making available simultaneously with the new Windows 10 Mobile build the promised test build of Office Universal apps for Windows Phones. These apps will be downloadable via the Windows Store Beta in the new Windows 10 Mobile build released today.
