What's a Universal Windows app? - Windows app development
"A Universal Windows app is a Windows experience that is built upon the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which was first introduced in Windows 8 as the Windows Runtime. At the core of Universal Windows apps is the idea that users want their experiences to be mobile across ALL their devices, and they want to use whatever device is most convenient or productive for the task at hand.

Windows 10 makes it easier to develop apps for the UWP with just one API set, one app package, and one store to reach all Windows 10 devices – PC, tablet, phone and more. It’s easier to support a number of screen sizes, and also a variety of interaction models, whether it be touch, mouse & keyboard, a game controller, or a pen."
Windows-powered devices
  • "You target device families, not an OS.
  • Apps are packaged and distributed using the .AppX packaging format.
  • There's one store for all devices.
  • There's a common API surface across device families.
  • Extension SDKs make your app light up on specialized devices.
  • Adaptive Controls and input"
