Windows 98 in your wrist?

Quoting:
"The Redditor shared details of his Windows 98 Wrist Watch Project online, using his Raspberry Pi Model A+ to build the DIY timepiece which features a 2.4-inch touchscreen.

He then used virtual machine software QEMU to get Window 98 running on the Pi, posting the results on Reddit with the caption: “Nostalgia overload!”"

Windows 10 IoT

Old news but still news for me:

Quoting:
"A good effort, if a bit odd: Windows 10 IoT Core on Raspberry Pi 2:
The question is, does the Pi really need Windows? Microsoft has released a preview of Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi 2, the £30 ARMv7 computer board produced by the Cambridge-based Raspberry Pi Foundation."

Kids and Programming

An interesting trend I am also investing in:

Quoting:
"Learning to code is just as important as learning any other science, and when you show the kids how to do it, they begin to see everything in a whole new way. We generally start with algorithms, cycles, and the ‘if’ condition. Nothing too hard in the beginning because the main goal is to show the kids that coding is about building something new, and that the creative possibilities are endless."


PS. FFR is also the Windows 10 Internet of Things core that can be put to run in a Raspberry Pi.
