Last week, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 10 will run on the internet of things. Today, the company’s CEO Satya Nadella said that Windows 10 will run on multiple screens, including wearable and the internet of things. Satya stated:
The Internet of Things end points will need an operating system that’s manageable and secure. I feel Windows will be a fantastic operating system to run on the edge. That’s really our IoT strategy. We’re in IoT today. Listening to you today makes me want to go back and put my marketing department on it.
At the Gartner Symposium ITxpo he also confirmed that Windows 10 will be able to run on wearables as well:
Windows has gone through a rearchitecture to one core Windows that runs everywhere. We architected the right Windows in the right devices with the right features. Windows 10 is a very important step for us. It’s the first step in a new generation of Windows as opposed to just another release after Windows 8. General purpose computing is going to run on 200 plus billion sensors. We’ve architected Windows where it can run on everything.
According to Satya Nadella, Windows 10 is much more “manageable and secure” than the other IoT operating systems. The company will reveal more about Windows at Build 2015 on April. But we’ll make sure to keep you updated with latest info about Windows 10 for IoT.
