EventGhost on Raspberry Pi 2 Windows 10?

Post by goodcoproflcop »

Microsoft has announced to provide a free Windows 10 version for the Raspberry Pi 2 (see: http://dev.windows.com/en-us/featured/r ... pi2support ). Will EventGhost be able to run on this (arm) version of Windows?

The great news is that you wouldn't have to pay very much. :)

No one seems to know what version of Windows it would be. It sounds like it would be something like Windows RT where there is no desktop, just the god-awful Metro/tiles interface. We can hope, but I'm afraid EG won't run on it.

I dont think the pi version of windows 10 will be like window RT, its going to be designed as a developer platform for IoT, so if anything would do away with any user interface at all rather than metro and just leave you with a command prompt as per the GUI-less server software they have.
I think the biggest issue that would be faced for eventghost on the Pi would be with any part of the system that relies on x86 architecture rather than ARM which the pi uses.
