The Windows 10 IoT Core Insider developer preview (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/02/windows-10-is-coming-to-the-raspberry-pi-2/) (phew!) has launched for small devices including the Raspberry Pi 2 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/02/raspberry-pi-2/). Redmond admits (http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/04/29/microsoft-brings-windows-10-to-makers) that it's still pretty rough around the edges, but it's hoping that the maker community can provide feedback for how the platform's turning out along the road to a full release (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/02/windows-10-is-coming-to-the-raspberry-pi-2/). What's more, the software giant is partnering with Arduino for a series of "Arduino Certified" products to bring the ubiquitous DIY boards (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/10/e-traces-arduino-ballet-pointe-shoes/) into the Windows family and take advantage of all that the software has to offer. For example, cloud computing, a familiar user interface, image processing and a ton more. It follows the theme of bringing everything under one roof that Nadella and Co. have been so vocal about lately (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/03/windows-10-universal-apps/), and should hopefully help tinkerers develop some pretty powerful stuff in their garage.
