No clue what you're talking about. Clearly, I need more coffee.

I wouldn't worry about it until there's a real cause to worry. Microsoft has made a lot of mistakes and leadership there is a mess. However, at this time I don't see anything that leads me to believe anything other than they're just trying to be a "me too" on the cloud bandwagon. (A subject for a whole other discussion probably best placed in the Soapbox.)
The APIs may not be elevated in discussions like they once were, but it's still there.

I personally like Fedora Linux. It is very user-friendly, and is very light on resources (especially using the LXDE 'spin').
Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.

I'm sorry, did you just use Linux (or any other *nix) and user-friendly in the same sentence? I think my brain just rebooted.
These operating systems were never meant for mere mortals.

"Syntax error: Missing not operator."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm working with Beckhoff[^] which is a German Brand which allows me to program and control our machines under Windows.
If I would need to work with Linux I would go for B&R[^] (Bernecker and Rainer) which is a similar Brand which Works with Linux.
Both brands offer the complete solution: Hardware and software.
Don't know if this could help you, but...

I laughed a little. Because you have to create your own BSP for Windows Embedded, you are looking for another operating system for which you'd have to... create your own BSP.

No they aren't. Seriously, where did you come up with that? Windows Embedded/Compact work just fine disconnected. They work find headless. Moreover, they have end-of-life dates way beyond many alternatives. They are easy to configure and very easy to write for.
As for alternatives; for non-hard real time, check out eCos[^].
If you have to do hard real time programming, check out the offerings from Green Hills[^].

Personally I don't care what Microsoft does. Knowing, naturally, that I have no influence over any direction they take. And about any future course in any realm pivoting on news from them about this or that, I ignore.
Hardware, the thing about which I think you REALLY mean to say something, has been around for ages. How is a software company going to kill that?
Earplugs. To keep the annoying news from infiltrating the porches of the ear.
Shades. To keep the blitz of gaud-awful electronic krap and it's shiney blithering unlessness at visual bay.
And off you go.

 Sorry, but some days the temptation is just too great!

It certainly is 'the question' at 3 o'clock in the morning and you don't feel like getting out of your nice cosy bed!

It's even harder when you're in the middle of the woods and it's cold and I'm in my down sleeping bag comfortably sleeping in my hammock.

Well it's your own fault for doing something as daft as that when the weather is that cold!
... it sounds like a warm weather only activity to me!

But if you like to hike, as I do there's only so many times you can go around the kitchen table before getting bored. Also nature has a way of distracting you and making it pleasant.
