What could possibly go wrong? How about having someone hack your refrigerator while you’re out of town and turn it off?

Why does “Colossus” come to mind.
Only a bumbling, not too bright, Colossus.

It’ll wind up there eventually anyway. You’d be surprised how often you make contact with XP right now, it runs all kinds of appliances.

This is an incredibly naive article, written by someone who saw a programmer only in a movie theater.
There is no requirement to run the same OS on all devices, let alone the fact that it is not physically possible. All you need to do is to establish a common language. You can run any OS on any device, or no OS, or Windows, or UNIX, or RT-11, or CP/M.
As an analogy, you do not need to be a genetic relative of someone to talk to him. The only requirement is that both are speaking the same language.
I have Win10 technical preview running this very moment. It is marginally better than Win8 but suffers from a hit by the same ugly stick. This series of desktop Windows is a dead end, as it is oriented only for PCs, and PCs themselves are a dead end. Win8/10 can also run on tablets, primarily as WinRT, but that offers no benefit to anyone whatsoever, except that porting of the stuff to other platforms cannot be done by anyone except MS.

Just more stuff to fall under the FCC umbrella.
I’m keeping my home automation free. I’ve yet to become so lazy that I need an app to turn on my lights or burn toast.

Microsoft wants to put Windows 10 inside robots, ATMs and toasters In other words, it doesn't want functional robots.

On Monday, Microsoft unveiled Windows 10 IoT (short for the idiotically named "Internet of Things"). I wonder why the idiotically named "David Goldman" would think such a thing...

This brings to mind my reaction to one of those advertisements that run on “non-commercial” public radio, from a company which professes that its online meeting platform will allow users to “connect to meetings from any device”: From my toaster? My toaster is a device.
Evidently in the not too distant future if Microsoft has their way...

Maybe MS should make sure it works in PC’s before they put it in a toaster.
