Windows 10 comes to Raspberry Pi 2
The article is a translation of an article by one of our favorite authors, the real geek, Scott Hanselman.
I am a sincere fan of the Raspberry Pi. I use three at home, one for the multimedia center , one for 3D printing and one just to play. Now I have more good news after the news that Raspberry Pi 2 was announced . For $ 35, I get a computer that can be put in my pocket, and which has some great points:
AT THIS ...
In general, I like to use the Raspberry Pi as a separate device (“Dedicated Device”).
It is, of course, a general purpose computer, but at the same time it is so cheap and powerful that it can be used for one specific task, and it will work fine.
For example, monitor whether something leaked in the basement and write if the sensor senses that it has become wet. Minecraft for kids. Server for 3D printing . Emulator of small toys . Open source media player.
Now, it seems, you can write universal Windows applications on Raspberry Pi 2 running Windows 10 !
Namely - Windows 10 comes to Raspberry Pi 2

The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced the Raspberry Pi 2, and Windows 10 will support it. And still it will be possible to receive all this free of charge according to the Windows Developer Program for IoT program (a bit later). Last year, Microsoft announced the Windows Developer Program for IoT and Windows support for Intel Galileo . Today, Windows is even more suitable for developers on RPi2.
This means that (theoretically) your universal application can run on Surface Pro 3. And on Windows Phone. And on the Raspberry Pi 2. And the Raspberry Pi 2 can be that separate device on which this application will work. All this can be written on familiar code, tools and using the same techniques.
It is clear that universal applications - this is what you need to use in Windows 10, from the standpoint of development. Great development experience, APIs, tools, cross-compilation, and all this on Raspberry Pi 2, phones, tablets, Xboxes, the cloud and the earth. I am very geeky all this.

- She is still small! Raspberry Pi B + Size. What worked for me will continue to work. ;)
- HDMI! Ethernet! Port under the camera!
- Micro USB for power!
AT THIS ...
- Four-core 900 MHz ARM Broadcom Cortex A7 with BCM2836 on-chip - 3 to 6 times increase in performance. Wow.
- 1 gig RAM (shared with GPU)
