Does anyone have more experience with Windows on IoT devices in general? I'm curious about this - it seems like it could be a real game changer in general for IoT. But if it is already available and not actually doing much game changing, I'd be curious to know why.

Windows CE is in a lot of things. The Coke freestyle machines are CE running on ancient overtaxed hardware hence the poor touch response.
Even older ATM machines use OS/2 Warp.
Very cool, although a win10 minipc would probably make far more sense for people who specifically need a tiny windows 10 computer, especially as they basically cost less than what a copy of windows 10 pro costs. (A fully functional fanless atom x5-Z8350, 4GB ram, 64GB flash, Win10 pro x64 Mini-PC will set you back $139. A copy of Windows 10 pro x64 is $168...) And I know, some folks might say "why not a lattepanda?"…
> A copy of Windows 10 pro x64 is $168... Cheaper on ebay. First sale doctrine covers you.
But personally, I would like to see improvements to smartphone linux desktop environments like Phosh/Plasma Mobile/Lomri for Raspberry Pi as this would enable anyone to plugin a GSM module, download some 3D printing smartphone designs, build themselves a nice and secure smartphone.

As long as Microsoft insists on force-feeding OS updates without permission from either users or developers, Windows is a non-starter for embedded online devices that need to maintain any semblance of reliability. For better or worse, they have taken Windows out of that particular market.

And that is all running in software mode. The RPI4 has no working GPU.
I don't know much about it, so this has me curious. The specs say the BCM2711 has an integrated Videocore VI GPU. Are there just not drivers, or what about it makes it "not working"?

I don't agree with the comment you responded to but all server tools for Windows are configured via Powershell, and the GUIs just use the PowerShell Apis. They started migration back in server 2008 or 8r2 to support Headless/Azure. The GUI is literally a second class citizen in Windows Server these days.
Fantastic. My experience is that when I have an issue on Windows my searches give me a ton of GUI screenshots, but in Linux I get text file edits and terminal commands. However I may be doing it wrong.
I wonder how well this runs in terms of CPU, i have a Macbook Pro and i don't hear the fans very often. Except when i run Windows 10, the fans frequently blast at the maximum level...
There's a reason for that, macOS loads a specific fan curve that prefers silence over performance, only kicking in a the last moment before the CPU overheats. This focus on silence also costs them in performance, but as long as the laptop is fast enough for most people, the raw performance probably doesn't matter to them. Windows doesn't about the thermal limits Apple put into place in their devices, so just treats i…
