Interesting find! I sure hope they will create a cutdown version that would run the Windows desktop on devices like Raspberry Pi and similar. Windows IoT is not what most users want.

Thanks for sharing this.

Yes, interesting find. "Learn Lean"? Hmm? One ponders what that ultimately means or alludes too?
To something other than IoT for Raspberry Pi's etc.

EDIT: Only just released its Lean not Learn, I think somebody snuck me a decaf. That's me story and I'm sticking to it.

The news coverage is focusing on something along the lines of "Windows for minimal USER devices" right now. As far as I can tell that means minimal devices that can still run Windows 10 AND a display, keyboard, and mouse. It will be interesting to see how this plays out -- and if it sticks around -- for sure.

Odd, there are 2 post #1. Ed and Toni. I've cleared and all that stuff.

Indeed!

Should be absolutely no issues getting the basic stuff like the window manager and all IO devices working properly. They have after all, already completed the ARM core.

Now it's just up to the team to come up with something that is usable. If they lock the OS down by only enabling Store apps and no native (win32-style) apps, then that will be a big turn off for most tinkerers. I really hope they do this one right from start.

Maybe my dream is coming true.
