Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 15 Aug 2015 7:41 User comments (2)

Microsoft has announced that its Windows 10 IoT (Internet of Things) Core operating system is now available for Raspberry Pi.

The OS, built specifically for embedded devices, will rival Linux-based portable operating systems such as Raspbian, Arch Linux and OpenELEC.

Microsoft's latest strips the UI from Windows 10 and allows you to program C++, C#, JS, VB, Python and node.js.

This does look at least a little interesting. I'm curious how "heavy" the OS is on the hardware; if comparable to other small OSes, this could be quite successful.
