Windows 10 on an RPi? Yes, really. It Just Works.

Windows. On a thirty quid RPi. Come on...

The target hardware, Raspberry Pi 2 from here, with composite output captured thought iGrabber interface (August VGB200, from here):

Interestingly, there is no Windows GUI, you just get this static screen, the only useful function of which seems to be to display the device's IP. The penny is starting to drop...

A very simple UWP app, first running on the desktop as normal...

...then on the RPi. All you do is set the target to ARM, and make the same remote debugger settings as you would for a tablet:

Remote debugging the app on the RPi. The remote debugger is pre-installed on the device, It Just Works.


Well, it's not quite what he would call 'Windows' - there are no windows - but dequehead is seriously impressed. There is some fun to be had here, JFDI.
