"Hello Richard

We are super excited to announce a new addition to the IOT Developer Program – Raspberry Pi 2!

In partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, we are going to make Windows 10 available for the Raspberry Pi 2. You’ll be among the first to know when we make Windows 10 available for the Raspberry Pi 2.

We will also continue to support the Intel Galileo through the program.

By being part of the Windows Developer Program for IoT you continue to be amongst the first to receive new information about the program, product announcements, beta program updates and launch specifics.

Thank you,
The Microsoft IoT Team

Hmm, I didn't even know you could get previous versions of windows on it but I prefer linux anyway. It's not going to be free either though is it so I have no interest in paying for it.

Pretty neat!

Is Pi2 going to be powerful enough for full Windows 10? I think it is going to be a slim down version of Windows, like RT on surface.

It must be. The specs on the new one are quite impressive. It's six times faster with a quad core processor and 1g of memory. Worth trying for the price.

Keep the fingers crossed! Would be a hell of alot cheaper than having my laptop on all the time!

I looked at the pi2 specs and the price, I was shocked. Around the same price as pi1 and 6x cpu power. This is a fantastic piece of gear to toy around with.

It's very cheap. Around £25 in the UK.

They're sold out everywhere though. I'll give Windows 1o a go when I get my hands on a Pi and it's released, but according to the following article you wont even be able to run office on it: http://www.informationweek.com/software/raspberry-pi-2-six-things-you-can-%28and-cant%29-do/a/d-id/1319064
