When they released this a couple of months ago I was pretty excited to try it out. I think the barrier to installation is a bit high. First install Windows 10, then custom install of VS, install IoT Templates, then about 30 more steps before you get the image to flash on your SD. How about a link to the image I can blast on the SD and kick the tires without a couple hours of downloading and installing prerequisites?

I'm curious as to the mention of a "Web Control" and how long we have to wait until we can use DirectX for graphics, seeing as I've been trying to use Pis for digital signage[1] for a while with varying results (we've since started using cheap Android boxes with great results, but I wish I had more choices).

Does it come with the same privacy issues as its older sister?

I'm in the middle of writing my first C# app, targeting the Intel IoT Gateway (all with MonoDevelop on Ubuntu.) How things come full circle...

A robotic hockey table doesn't seem very IoT to me.

I'm a little confused as to what Windows brings to the table for embedded devices at this point, especially screenless ones.

It requires you to install Windows 10 on your Desktop so... yes.

Sad that they showed a node example. What about asp.net on .net core?
