I've seen this message and i want to try and explore the features.

But do you know what the reason is that windows cannot be installed as a virtual machine?

[tommit01]

First cause is not that important if you only want to try Win 10 IoT basic functionalities instead of doing some development..

As far as I understand new concept windows 10 IoT communicates with Windows 10 .. which is not yet supported by Virtualbox or VMware ...

Second thing is:
Windows 10 (according to Microsoft) currently needs direct access to SD Card Writer when installing Win10 IoT on SD Card.. I thnk currently there are no tested Guest Additions for Virtualbox or services for VMware yet...

Maybe this will change once Virtualbox 5 final is available...
but I did not make any tests, because I have already 2 PCs running Win 10 natively..
