>>>Hrm.. that sounds like a headless server configuration, though it does raise the question of what advantage you'd even get by running Windows on the Raspberry Pi, when you could probably end up doing the same with a copy of Linux.

You won't expect Office or eMail or Media Player to work on the IoS Windows 10. Seems to me we all need to relearn what is meant by "Windows." It's no longer a fat client OS, now it's label for a shared NT kernel.

Probably better to call it Windows 10 IoT (Internet of Things), rather than IoS (Internet of Stuff) which is too confusing with a product of the fruity giant. That's what all the cool kids are doing, anyways ;)
