Of course language-wise you are right, but politically of course M$
needs to stick to the "Windows" name, even if stripping off any sense of
that.
The full name is "Windows 10 IoT Core" ->
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot.
In fact they renamed "embedded" to "IOT" which again is a misnomer, as
you can happily and viably do deeply embedded devices using that OS that
don't have any internet connectivity or not even a network interface at all.
(Of course Microsoft ".NET" was a misnomer as well, as the ".NET
framework" that drives CIL (and with that languages like C#, IronPython,
Oxygene and some others) hast nothing to do with any network at all).
With their wordings, the M$ salesmen seem to desperately try to hide
that the Linux world is ,more competent with networking ;-) .
