If you do not like this situation, tough. When you write code for the device, there is this big, hulking, software company called Microsoft, that will intervene between me, the owner, and you the developer, and any code that you write will have to be approved by Microsoft by going through Microsoft's "app store", where Microsoft will take a cut of any revenue. You, the developer, write code for the device. This is what Microsoft probably has in mind:

You, the developer, may write code to make my device do whatever either you, or I, or both says it should do." You the developer, write code for the device. This UNRESTRICTED platform creates implicit understanding between developer and user.

Right now, it is possible to write code on the RPi under Linux UNRESTRICTED, meaning that software developers can write code to make the RPi do whatever the developer wants RPi to do. This sounds like yet another Microsoft lock-in gimmick.

It's pretty clear that the way to go with Windows 10 from a developer's perspective is Universal Apps. I can write code for it using the same languages, tools and techniques that I already know. I could make my little Raspberry Pi 2 a dedicated device that runs Windows 10 plus my App. And finally a Raspberry Pi 2 (note there's no shell) also running a Universal App. Then a Windows Phone also running that same Universal App. This means you could theoretically have a Surface Pro 3 running a Universal App. Today Windows gets even better for IoT and Maker scenarios by supporting makers on RPi2. Last year Microsoft announced the Windows Developer Program for IoT and put Windows on the Intel Galileo board. Not only did the Raspberry Pi Foundation announce the Raspberry Pi 2, but it seems that Windows 10 will support Raspberry Pi 2 and we can get it free for the Maker community through the Windows Developer Program for IoT coming later this year.

Windows 10 is coming to the Raspberry Pi 2 Watch for water in my basement and text me if a sensor gets wet. I love using my Raspberry Pi as a "Dedicated Device." While it's clearly a general purpose computer, it's so cheap and powerful I'll use it for one thing and have it do that one thing well.
