New RPi 2 windows 10 support
« on: February 02, 2015, 12:06:15 PM »
I'm super interested in this newer RPi if it has windows 10 support.  Would VC run on it, since its ARM based, not sure, but I think VC uses .NET so maybe?

There is only one way to know for sure and that is to test it.  But any machine that runs a full version of Windows 10 should in theory be able to run VC.  I know Windows 8 has an RT version and I don't think it support WSR.  I don't know if Windows 10 has (will have?) a similar version.

My guess is that it won't be able to run a normal compile of VC, and that even if it can it will be a bit of a struggle for it.  If you want to also run XBMC at the same time (for example) I'd say that looks like quite a stretch for such a low power device with only 1 gig of RAM.

I installed windows 10 tech preview on a laptop a week ago ... Will test VC on it and report back ...

BTW James, a question about VC and cortona... As you know windows 10 has support for Cortona, any plans to integrate VC with that ... If VC can pass generic a commands to cortona and announce results back it will be great ... As users we will deal with only one interface... And VC will be able to handle questions like : who invented the print press ...

Not at the moment.

VoxCommando can already answer questions like that.


I may look at this option in the future.

In my mind windows 8 just came out!

I know ... but what I meant is not limited to that  ::) ... sending text messages ...various integrations with various platforms ... etc.

 :biglaugh :biglaugh :biglaugh when did it come out?

but I believe windows 10 will be a game changer ... especially it will be the only windows to support MS hollolense, I think
