[TriEmbed] Microsoft wants to play Re: Hack to unlock your car

[Carl Nobile]

What I am most concerned about with any Windows install on a DIY platform
is that most of Microsoft's APIs are proprietary, so you will still need to
access closed code when using there IoT core. Is somebody going to build a
.NET API on that big ugly mess of a web platform? I doubt it, at least
nobody that know what they are doing anyway.

The new command-line interface on Windows is impressive compared to the old
one, but it's still 10 to 15 years behind bash on *nix/Linux systems.
Windows big following was because of their user friendly UI, they have
always had poorly designed core code. The windows OS itself is a virus
magnet because of the way it's been designed (i.e. They link the kernel and
UI too closely). So now we will be fighting viruses on the RPI I suppose.

I have been offered jobs that I have flatly turned down when they told me I
would need to work on Windows.
