Windows and the IoT

Watching the build conference this 2014 surprised a number of us to see the the new CEO, Satya Nadella, is taking Microsoft. Microsoft has shown a new the they could be the "Market race Leader" in, the Internet of Things. They've partnered up with Intel and Sharks Cove so far.

What's the IoT? It's where many everyday "Things" are connected the the Internet and can be controlled by a remote PC or cloud(Windows Azure comes in). This is what we could see in future 'Smart' homes.

How the plan is being deployed:
For a keen bunch of people know as Makers, Microsoft is giving them a free $89 Intel Galileo Development board with Windows on it. Netduino is an Arduino variant that uses the .NET framework. If you search up on YouTube Netduino and Windows Phone, you'll find a lot of cool DIY projects people have done.

It seems Microsoft is unifying all variants of Windows together for Cloud computing.

Tell how you think they'll do.
