Microsoft pulls Windows 10 support from Intel's Galileo boards

From InfoWorld: Microsoft says it is pulling support for a pared-down, IoT version of Windows 10 from the latest version of Intel's Galileo board computer because it doesn't have the hardware capabilities to support the OS.

Intel's Galileo is an uncased board being used by makers to build robots, appliances, wearable devices and other devices. The latest Gen2 version of Galileo sells for between $45 and $75.

With support for Galileo boards, Microsoft's goal was to reach more enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers, and put Windows in more Internet of Things devices.

But the Galileo Gen2 board "does not meet the minimum hardware requirements" for Windows 10 IoT Core, Microsoft said. Support for the OS on Galileo will end Nov. 30, Microsoft said on its IOT developer page.
