Really good news this time from intel and microsoft. The first one just released a UEFI firmware for Intel Galileo board first gen which now makes possible to install windows on it instead of linux. Few days ago we learned that this custom non-commercial version of windows is based on windows 8.1 but I am not sure what to expect. For those that own an Intel Galileo board and want to give windows a try the instructions are pretty straight forward. Check this link for upgrading the firmware and here in order to download the custom windows Os. If you succeed let us know how it goes.
