Nicely played. I'm a bit surprised at the amount of people in this thread equating Windows 10 for RPi with a desktop environment, though -- I'd be _very_ surprised if it had a desktop environment at all, considering that they're targeting it as an embedded system.

You _might_ have graphics, but not a DE.

Edited to add: based on this video, http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/2-511, this will probably be considered as a "micro" system without any UI.

Which makes sense, considering this is part of their IoT program. Microsoft isn't porting Windows 10 to the Raspberry Pi so that kids can use it. They're doing it for developers who want something cheaper and more powerful than an Intel Edison.
