Yes -- but since it's ARM, it won't run any Windows apps, will it? And if they don't provide all the .NET, etc. APIs, compiling normal Windows code may not be easy. I'm still digging in to this to see just what it means.

You can run DW server on the current Pis right now (Java), and Chris Hawks put MESS on a Pi and stuck it in a CoCo case (using the actual keyboard) years ago -- so it won't take Windows for that.
