My first question after I heard this:

How can I manipulate the I/Os :?:

Or can I access port addresses in Windows 10 without any tricks?

Hi,
Easy and fast access to I/O resources vanished from Windows a long time ago with the demise of the parallel port so I have made out with USB/HID and various other devices that provide virtual COM ports.

However, devices like the PI find applications in areas that benefit from close coupled I/O so maybe MS will provide a way to break into the ring-fenced areas (pun intended).

Ideally I would be able to develop with PB on my desktop PC and download the resulting EXE into a Windows based PI... couple that with easy port I/O and I would be a very happy bunny :D

I have nothing against developing directly on the PI but have so much coupled to my desktop PCs that I use... not least of which are three monitors.

Why would anyone want to deal with Windows on a little device like this?

Why would anyone want to deal with Antivirus programs on a little device like this?

Good luck attaching this device through Ethernet running Windows and not catching the flu.

Obviously common sense is not so common anymore... :mrgreen:

Well, they would have to target the ARM instruction set then, I don't see why they would bother. And yeah, you wold also need to look at horse porn for that to happen, and I don't think that is what most people would use their PI's for.
