I started playing with Windows IoT on Galileo and some notes before any gets started.
First you need windows 7 with SP1 with 10 GB free, or a Windows 8 PC to develop programs. (forget windows 7 starter as problems with SP1)
You need to install Visual Studio Express which needs about 5 GB to do development and Windows Assessment and Development kit (4.5 GB) if using windows 7
Second, right now there is a rather limited API for the board. You can use some libraries from the Arduino IDE (such as LCD library) to create programs that run on the Galileo but doesn't seem to support any on board development.
Has anyone actually got anything working yet?
