This is another article for developers and enthusiasts. Microsoft is betting on taking Windows to other hardware platforms, more specifically for class of small smart devices.
For this the site was created Windows Devices , where Microsoft explains what the company's plan is for this class of devices and yet allows you to sign up for a program that promises to send a kit with a Intel Galileo and access to the SDK (Software Development Kit).
Intel Galileo is Intel's equivalent to the Arduino board. If we want to simplify, it is an Arduino board with a processor with Intel architecture, which guarantees compatibility with "Microsoft standards".
How to win the Intel Galileo board for free?
Enroll in the project Windows Developer Program for Internet of Things, available em http://www.windowsondevices.com. AndYou will then receive a confirmation email and complete the registration with your address and other information. Finally, you will receive a set of information with details about the possible shipment of the device.
If you are a developer and have already used another board, such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi, your chance to win an Intel Galileo board is much higher.
