Microsoft Releases Windows 10 SDK

Posted by Soulskill on from the tools-to-build dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft today launched developer tools for the Windows 10 Technical Preview, including a software development kit (SDK). Developers can use the new tools, currently in preview, to start building universal Windows apps for Microsoft's upcoming operating system. A universal Windows app is Microsoft's verbiage for an app that can run across different form factors, including PCs, tablets, and phones. Developers can publish these apps in the Windows Store, which will be available across all types of Windows 10 devices.

    If it was 1995 I'd be really excited right now!

    Big whoop. Microsoft is just not insisting that OEMs produce motherboards with SecureBoot which can be disabled. That's it. If you want to get upset over that, no one will stop you, but a fair few people will laugh at your misdirected rage-fest.

    They aren't forcing OEMs to do it, Microsoft is giving OEMs the choice and software should be about choice, shouldn't it?

    If you buy hardware that you can't disable SsecureBoot on, it's the because the OEM chose to not because Microsoft forced them.
