SPARK Your Imagination (Hobbyist Kit)
 

Move Any Mountain

Change the world. See your vision to reality. Or just have some fun. Such stuff as dreams are made on; SPARK Your Imagination!
SPARK Your Imagination is the Windows Embedded offering for hobbyists, and it’s real simple:
  • We provide a full version of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2.
  • A full version of Visual Studio Pro 2005.
  • You buy a SPARK-selected board from any of our 5 hardware partners.
  • You get the software and the hardware for the price of the board.

The Catch?

None. Get your gear and go. No markup on the board. Be free. The only requirement is that any work you produce be strictly non-commercial. It wouldn’t be much of a hobbyist program otherwise.
And if you want to turn your project into a product, just contact a Microsoft Authorized Embedded Distributor and take the first step towards your billions. You can read the complete Licensing Terms here.
