The Raspberry Pi was originally intended as a learning aide, both as a way of getting computers into the hands of those who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford one, and also for that device to be simpler than a desktop PC which would be too daunting for a beginner.


This is very much a move of the old Microsoft, not the new. All that work has to be redone on Windows. I suppose there's commercial customers who might consider it, but the history of the Rpi so far is a bunch of hobbyists figuring things out, and the commercial users taking that and making products. What I do wonder is if they actually expect hobbyists to legally buy an OS that costs at least twice as much as the computer it runs on. The Rpi has a perfectly usable GPU at its disposal. This takes much of the work off the CPU and onto the GPU. With Vista, a new model was introduced that made better use of modern GPUs. That was also an OS that was running an old fashioned windowing model that hadn't seen significant changes since Win3.1. Windows XP would, of course, have to run on machines significantly less than that. May not sound like much, but remember that when Windows XP was released, AMD's bleeding edge desktop chips ran at 1.53 GHz, and 256-512MB of RAM was at the high-end. The Rpi 2 is set to run a quad-core 900 MHz chip with 1GB of RAM. Microsoft has taken the tactic of slimming down the OS so that you can run the same core on both tablets and desktops. Windows without the explorer shell can still be useful to develop applications on.

Net runtime with some other services (think drivers and such) probably will.

The full desktop experience of Windows 10 will probably not run on a Raspberry Pi. The thing that installs windows is a stripped down version of windows running from read-only media.

When you boot a desktop off a windows install you get a version of this with the Windows preinstallation environment. Also, look at Windows Server Core which removes the graphical shell components. Windows has been like this for a long time, with WindowsCE and Windows Emended etc. You just pick the components that fit on the device you are targeting. But architecturally it is split up in to components that can run on a variety of devices. Windows is usually distributed and experienced as the monolithic desktop OS everyone knows on their desktops and laptops. Is it to make their lives more fun in the midst of their misery? I do hear about supporting Visual Basic legacy apps though, I can understand that. I don't even understand where the target is? I never hear about developers excited about Visual Basic 2012, etc. But no.! Here we are in 2015 and a state of the art BASIC dialect, haha! How can one be mad? NET platform, then slowly phase it out as they later pushed those to C#, now that they had learnt the. NET was a project at Microsoft for them to gently nudge VB 6 devs into the. No! Real built-in support in the language itself. No funny metaprogramming or template games. Not just as part of libraries, no damn quirky Boost-esque library. NET has built-in support for generics, lambda expressions, asynchronous programming, iterators, anonymous types. NET is fun, weird, and hilarious at times as for what it can do.

If there is no code in your link, it probably doesn't belong here. Just because it has a computer in it doesn't make it programming.That means no image posts, no memes, no politics.Please keep submissions on topic and of high quality.r/programming is a reddit for discussion and news about computer programming
