For us, it was the logical step to port our ANSI C and C++ OPC UA SDKs to the IoT Core, providing Microsoft's new platform the industrial connectivity from the shop floor to the cloud. “From an industrial application point of view and taking Industrie 4.0 into account, Windows 10 IoT Core seems to be a serious approach. They clearly showed Microsoft's engagement for open development and the focus on small embedded devices, that will form the IoT in the near future”, says Jürgen Boxberger, Executive Director at Unified Automation GmbH. “We followed the various developer previews of Windows 10 IoT Core with great interest. Furthermore, Microsoft runs a website/blog containing tips and tricks for developers who want to create applications for the latest Raspberry PI 2, a SBC with 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU with 1GB RAM. GIT and Android) and makes a huge step towards a cross platform build environment and collaborative development.
The new Studio comes with many features known from open source development (e.g.

Microsoft made the new IoT Core platform run on x86 and 圆4, as well as on the ARM architecture, providing full integration into the new Visual Studio 2015. By creating Universal Apps, simple GUI applications can be built. The Internet of Things (IoT) focuses on headless devices suitable for industrial applications such as controllers (PLC) or smart sensors. More sophisticated devices, like mobiles and tablets, would use Windows 10 Mobile, and larger PC-type systems will go for Windows 10, which is the desktop variant, including all the functions and features one would expect from the successor of Windows 7 and 8.1.
The smallest feature set, Windows 10 IoT Core, is targeted towards embedded devices that may not even have a screen.
With the new Windows 10 IoT Microsoft provides a universal platform, which is available with different functions and features targeting various devices and markets.
