[MinnowBoard] MinnowBoard Max - What Microsoft links!

[David Rolfe]

Hi,

At present it is still possible to download a 180 day version of Windows 
Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro Evaluation which was mentioned in the broadcast 
yesterday.

The page which had been removed also contained a lot of useful looking 
information on how to use it with the MinnowBoard Max though, which could 
have been very useful, but as you say it will probably re-appear again in 
due course.

I am sure that more info will be provided by CircuitCo also.... as well as 
more than a few third-party offerings.

David

It appears they forgot to put in the timebomb. I suspect it?ll be back 
shortly with the 90 day trial timeout added back in.
