Ditch Linux For Windows 10 On Your Raspberry Pi With Microsoft's IoT Kit
An anonymous reader writes: Partnering with Adafruit, Microsoft has announced the Windows IoT Core Starter Kit. The $75 kit comes comes with an SD card preloaded with Windows 10 IoT. According to the Raspberry Pi blog: "The pack is available with a Pi 2 for people who are are new to Raspberry Pi or who'd like a dedicated device for their projects, or without one for those who'll be using a Pi they already own. The box contains an SD card with Windows 10 Core and a case, power supply, wifi module and Ethernet cable for your Pi; a breadboard, jumper wires and components including LEDs, potentiometers and switches; and sensors for light, colour, temperature and pressure. There's everything you need to start building."
It's perfect. Now my Pi can have Telemetry!
DirectX ought to come in handy, too.
Dumping a system that works and does what I want for a system that spies on me and will change at the whim of its maker with but a "swallow bitch" if I complain.
Decisions, decisions...
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
is the year that Windows will replace Linux on the IoT.
just trying to make sure all iterations of "no" are covered.
masochism?
It might be nice having a ms honey pot ...
With the impending IoT, I suspect that eventually, actual jars of honey will have IP addresses ... allowing one to make the metaphor a reality.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
It doesn't come with a GUI, so if you want a working display, you need Linux.
I don't think anyone has ever said those words before.
