I can't see this working, hence windows is not exactly a lean OS. Coinincidently I'm stuck in an update/reboot cycle at the moment after a fresh install. Also i need to extend my partion of 60GB after just installing the OS (8.1) to get Visual Studio installed (which will also take at least 10GB). I like the new direction of MS, but i wonder if it's possible to succeed with so much old baggage to carry...

Their current running WindowsOnDevices program showcases Microsoft's developer preview of a new, tiny version of Windows that runs on small CPU-based devices like the Intel Galileo dev board. I'm sure they are aiming for something similar for RPi2 (it's obviosly impractical to run full scale Windows 10 on such underpowered devices)

You don't have to install Visual Studio on your system drive, it'll happily install and run on another drive.

The core of windows is tiny, its all the other stuff that makes it big.
