I already checked, it wasn't an April Fools joke.

windows embedded!

Since I have the Galileo already I guess I should try it. After all I got my wife a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet and is very capable on the Atom, so the Quark should do good.

I just wished Microsoft re-branded the whole RT and dropped the Windows part of the name, like they did with the Xbox

By the way, I think it silly because they don't have a light weight OS so the resources needed add a lot of cost, but it's kind of weird that they want to get in the maker space.

they have a long road ahead to be practical in my oppinionn

Windows Embedded Compact can run on pretty light hardware... I've seen headless setups going on just a few tens of MHz of CPU.
