CheeseMan42 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 As part of the Build 2015 conference, Microsoft has announced the Windows 10 Internet of Things Core Insider Preview. This new version of Windows targets small computing devices such as the Raspberry Pi 2, Arduino, and Minnowboard Max and will be available "free for Makers and commercial device builders." Microsoft is hoping to enter a market that has been dominated by other OSs including various flavors of Linux by "bringing our world-class development tools, the power of the Universal Windows Platform, direct access to hardware capabilities, and the ability to remotely debug, update, and manage the software running on Raspberry Pi 2 devices." Microsoft will also release an "Arduino Certified" version of Windows that will combine the hardware platform with Windows as an OS. It will be interesting to see if Windows can make a dent in the market and how it will perform on the lower powered devices.
