I could. Why should I?
> The makers will be able to download and use the first public release of Windows 10 IoT Core at no cost, although this require access to a "development machine" with Windows 10.
Can I have a Windows that is really a core (memory usage)? Can I flash it by the means of a simple 'dd'?
Requiring a Windows to develop is a big no for many.

- tgragnato 10y agoI don't think security is something automatic, but I'm open to other opinions about this. If a firm is not willing to update my device anymore, why does an "automatically updated base" make me more safe? Without updates to the upper layers of the software stack I'm still vulnerable.. Is there a real advantage over Yocto plus un update mechanism such as rauc [https://github.com/rauc/rauc https://github.com/rauc/rauc] or mender [https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender] ?
