Microsoft is said to be working on software and hardware that will enhance use of stylus, touch, and traditional inputs on full desktop PC. Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans tell Verge that any potential AIO PC will be aimed at creatives.

Microsoft is widely expected to unveil a new Surface device at the event, with rumors suggesting it will be an all-in-one desktop PC. The timing of Paint videos came just hours after Microsoft revealed it's planning to hold a special event in New York City later this month. Microsoft appears to be testing early alpha versions of Paint app, and videos indicate it could be ready to be released publicly soon. Screenshots leaked of app back in May, but it appears the app has progressed since then. This isn't first time we've seen evidence that Microsoft is building the Windows 10 version of Paint. All of the tools appear to be pen-and touch-friendly, with interfaces that mix 3D models, 2D images, stickers, and community tools for 3D content. Microsoft has a range of markers and art tools to help artists create objects, and brushes that can be used directly on 3D objects. Paint Preview users will be able to create 3D objects, and annotate them freely. The Launch video notes that the new Paint Preview app includes all the familiar features of the regular version of Paint, but Microsoft is adding in 3D object support, an ideal addition for HoloLens. Twitter user WalkingCat has discovered video demonstrations of the new app, and it's clearly designed with Windows 10 in mind.
