Microsoft and Pi

markvenn

Today I got a mail from Microsoft Development Programme about the Pi and windows 10:

Hello Mark Venn,

 

We are super excited to announce a new addition to the IOT Developer Program – Raspberry Pi 2!

 

In partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, we are going to make Windows 10 available for the Raspberry Pi 2. You’ll be among the first to know when we make Windows 10 available for the Raspberry Pi 2.

 

We will also continue to support the Intel Galileo through the program.

 

By being part of the Windows Developer Program for IoT you continue to be amongst the first to receive new information about the program, product announcements, beta program updates and launch specifics.

 

Thank you,
The Microsoft IoT Team

Redmond, WA, USA. 98052


I tried to get on the Galileo project to get a free board to play with, which is why I am on the list. I think quite a few people here on element14 are also on the program so we may get some early info as it appears.

I do not like the idea personally, we shall see how the treat the project. Am I alone in this?

  • Mark, you said,


    "I do not like the idea personally, we shall see how the treat the project. Am I alone in this?"


    I'm not quite sure what you don't like.


    I like the idea of Windows on RPi - and as I explained in another thread what would make it perfect would be a port of VB6 (or even QuickBasic) to Windows running on the Pi.

    That would make programming truly accessible to the zillions of people who can afford a Pi (it isn't just the money that holds people back).

    I think they might be meaning that the iot version of Windows - that just has access to the WinRT sdk (not the Win32 sdk) will be coming to the Pi.   This is similar to the one found on Windows 8.1 mobile, etc...
