Windows 10 support? Anyone tied it yet?


Yes, did you read the linked Data Sheet PDF from the article?

> Improved Huge Range of Guest Platforms – including the very latest Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 R2 and leading edge Linux platforms too.

Well, in theory, given several other comments / complaints about things not quite working right (USB3, and the like), there is a difference between:

"is it supported?" (yes)

and

"does it work well?"


Just finished installing on my test PC. Ran Ubuntu (Since it was all I had on hand), and it keeps throwing errors when I try to power on the new machine. Going to install latest release and try again.


I've been using W10 on v4 fine for the past few weeks. Planning to update right now though.. anything you are concerned about specifically?


have you been able to use virtio for network/storage?


Very cool project, but I would imagine that an internet connected microwave might result in these headlines:

"Apartment complex burnt to the ground by toddler with iPad"

"Chinese hackers crash US power grid using Microwave exploit"

NFC or Bluetooth control might be better suited for this than full web connectivity.
