Microsoft announced it will offer Windows 10, the latest version of its desktop operating system, free to users of the new Raspberry Pi 2 mini-computer later this year. The news comes as the Raspberry Pi Foundation unveiled its new board, which features a quad-core chip and double the memory as its predecessor. Plus, the Pi 2 will retain the $35 price tag. Kevin Dallas, general manager of Microsoft Windows Internet of Things Group, said in a Windows blog post, ‘Raspberry Pi has quickly become one of the Maker community’s favorite platforms because their highly-capable, low-cost boards and compute modules enable developers to bring their vision to life.’ Raspberry Pi 2 is available for purchase today.
