We knew that Microsoft was planning to tuck (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/30/microsoft-windows-10/) that Modern UI inside the resurrected Start Menu for Windows 10, and today (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/21/microsoft-windows-10-event-liveblog/#!post=74453), the company provided more details on the next installment's aesthetics. When the update arrives, there will be a version that's designed specifically for devices that are smaller than eight inches in size (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/21/windows-10-mobile-for-phones-and-tablets/). This means that the look and feel of the desktop and larger tablets will carry over, and universal apps (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/21/windows-10-makes-microsofts-dream-of-universal-apps-come-true/) will allow for seamless transitions from mobile to office sessions. Apps like PowerPoint and Word carry a similar look in mobile versions, and features, like a list of recently opened files, sync across phones, slates and desktop machines. The goal here is an easy-to-use cross-device experience that's accessible anywhere, and consistent aesthetics will certainly help.
