I reading an article recently that if Microsoft really wanted to make Windows on ARM64 take off they should sell a "developer machine" like a Raspberry Pi 4 with Windows ARM64 preinstalled for $199. If such a machine had an M.2 drive as an option (microSD or eMMC default) I suspect it would be a huge hit.

They don't sell them directly, but Microsoft maintains a list of boards you should buy (probably as close to "Windows Certified" as you'll get for small batch boards).

Does IoT Core run a full desktop?

Well, Windows 10 IoT will run on a pi 3, but I don't recommend it. It works well enough, but it seems to have been abandoned by Microsoft, so it's doubtful there will be any updates.

Seems like a great way to attract people to linux. “Hey I know windows so I can get a raspberry pi and try that.” Then “wow this doesn’t run very well. I guess I should try raspbian...”

Wait, a 4 times markup for having Windows installed? That doesn't compute.
