I got on the beta!

I just got the notice that I made it onto the beta! WOOT! I have big need for this chip in a commercial product, I'm currently using 2 ESP8266s in parallel for the power I need. Now I will have two cores + BLE in one chip. I can't wait!

Do you know if there are any plans within Microsoft for Win10 IoT core to support ESP32/8266?

For that they would need at least 1GB of flash and a DVD drive over SPI Remote desktop over wifi is possible

No DVD needed however SDcard would be necessary.

Really, ESP is smallest possible, low-cost, low-power, low-level device with very limited resources mainly for embedding into smart devices.

If you need running Windows and communicate with USB devices, use your old laptop as an IoT platform or buy a Raspberry or similar "big" overkill machine.

By just looking at specs you can clearly see this is something completely different: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... s.85).aspx

Hi Mario,

Windows IoT core is not Windows 10 but a .Net core designed to run on small boards including Raspberry Pi. Check out https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/GetStarted.htm. This allows you to develop code and run it on a number of different devices.

Yep but there is difference between small and tiny. Resource requirements for Win iot core are ridiculous as well as an idea of using raspberry pi and c# to light a led, lol. Btw did they cleaned up the mess in Windows 10 or do you still need 20GB of hdd space for a clean installation?
