I hope they get rid of the stupid code-signing requirement that's currently in RT which prevents all third-party apps from running in RT desktop mode! I'd love to be able run Chrome on a Windows ARM device...

It's nice to see Microsoft cares. OTOH part of the attraction of the RPi for me is that people freely share their knowledge, code and cool hacks.

Adding a humongous blob of unmodifiable software doesn't really align with any of that. In the best case people will shun this, in the worst case it could harm the culture.

If they didn't it would defeat the sole purpose of the Raspberry Pi IMHO. (Hacking software + hardware)

Out of all of the exciting news coming from Redmond this past year, this has somehow taken the cake for me. In 2013, even suggesting Windows on Raspberry Pi could be a possibility would've gotten you laughed out of the room, and for it now to be actually happening made me take more than a few double-takes.

It's not that surprising news. NT has supported ARM for a few years now and the Raspberry Pi 2 is a pretty beefy board - all things considered.

Does anyone know what they mean when they say "grounded in trust"? (Seems odd to imply that other OSes are not trustworthy.) Referring to code signing, perhaps?
