Windows 10: Microsoft and IOT: How the company will use Windows 10

Brink · Dec 28, 2014

Microsoft is making moves to assert its position in the Home Automation and IOT (Internet of Things) space; the green market is ripe with potential and there is not a clear cut leader at this time. While Microsoft started making efforts in this area earlier this year, the company is kicking things into high gear and has formed it's plan of attack for this new market.

Back in August, the company released the first preview OS for IOT and has been working to attract developers ever since the launch of that platform. But more than that, Microsoft ran an accelerator that was targeted at Home Automation startups, and thanks to Microsoft's Careers page, we can learn a bit more about where the company is headed in this emerging sector.

Microsoft has formed a new team to tackle the challenges that IOT presents, according to a new job posting. This job posting specifically calls out home automation, among other use-cases, and how the company is building a platform that bridges client and cloud worlds.

Microsoft sees the IOT market as significantly larger than the entire PC market with 2 billion IOT devices in 2012 with projections up to 20 billion devices in 2020, according to a different job posting. The company believes that there is no clear leader in this "strategic green field" and with IOT set to become a massive market, larger than PCs, Microsoft is gearing up to to win a large percentage of this market.

Based on this information and past conversations with Microsoft, they are targeting to postilion Windows 10 as the gear in a spoke and hub setup. What we mean is that, while there are plenty of competing platforms like Alljoyn, there needs to be a central platform that makes it possible to connect into all of these services.

Windows 10 Enterprise IoT

Does anyone know how to get an ISO for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition?

Microsoft states that Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is a binary equivalent to Windows 10 Enterprise, does this mean I can just use a copy of Windows 10 Enterprise, and create an IoT image using Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer?

Does it only work with x86 version of Windows?

There is not much info on the internet about this...

Thanks,

David
