Er... what kind of hardware is Windows IoT supposed to run on?
- arnarbi 9y agoThey seem either confused about what "MCU" means, or intent on changing the commonly accepted meaning.
- anujdeshpande 9y agoI think its a marketing thing. Engineers wouldn't have let this one slide. My professors at college taught a simple rule of thumb - if it can't run regular Linux it's probably a MCU. Finer print talked about the presence of a MMU being the key differentiator. I've stuck to that definition so far. Might have to rewire if this gimmick catches on
