    Link

    Spotted on HUKD. For everybody interested in Arduino's, Rasp Pi's and alike.
    I signed up and at the end I got an email: "Thank you for signing up for the Windows Developer Program for IoT. We’ll let you know when your kit has shipped." so hopefully they will actually ship it.

    Thanks! Good find!

    I assume we'll get an email later with more details on how to order?

    Edit: Aha, I just got an email with a link on how to provide my address, now I understand.

    The site they link to has an invalid SSL cert though.. I hope this is legit. But the whois comes up with microsoft so I think it should be OK.

    Yep, you sign-up first with your email address and then you get an email with a link to "order" it where you enter your address and some more info (like why do you want it).

    Yes, I got it. Thanks again, this is very interesting.

    I have many raspberry pi's already (4 in active use) and several Arduinos so this would be a great addition, I could definitely find a good use for it.

    Thanks. Filled out the details there and got a got a , we will contact you shortly response. So hope it works out. For people interested in this you would need some proof that your a developer type. For example your engineering website etc. I assume they check that your legit as some form of developer and hopefully send out the kit then.

    Hmmm... I got no confirmation email last night. Just the email with the link to enter address, nothing since I submitted that.

    Fingers crossed...

    Nope, it took a while for it to come through. About an hour later.

    The message I got was:
    Thank you for signing up for the Windows Developer Program for IoT. We’ll let you know when your kit has shipped.

    I got email straight after I sent my address but it was saying "We’ll let you know when your kit has shipped.". Seems like the offer expired.
