Microsoft had some incredible announcements for Makers at their Build conference this past week! First off, they announced Windows 10 IOT core insider preview, which is a Windows Internet Of Things platform for Raspberry Pi. This allows Windows Developers to write programs and run them directly on the Raspberry Pi! Secondly, Microsoft has announced a partnership with Arduino. Two features that Microsoft has created for this partnership is the Windows Arduino remote allowing you to program any Arduino from Windows using simply a bluetooth device connected to your Arduino. They also announced the Windows Phone Arduino Shield that lets you use the sensors in any Windows 10 phone for your Arduino projects! Very cool stuff and great news for makers!
