new cheap source for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
The Microsoft store! <http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msca/en_CA/pdp/productID.332497100> I don't know if it is available in their bricks and mortar stores, but it is available online with free delivery (and free returns). $47.00 Canadian (less than US$35, the nominal and never discounted price from authorized distributors in the US)! Comes with an 8GB Micro SD card containing Windows 10 IoT. (Consider this a free bonus, with a defect that is easily remedied.) The page spends more ink on Linux than Windows. They don't seem to offer cases, power supplies, or other accessories. The picture shows a thing that is the size and shape of an SD card with as raspi logo (as well as a MicroSD card). But the Raspberry Pi 2 can't use an SD card. Perhaps it is a superfluous MicroSD to SD converter. (Older Raspberry Pi versions use an SD card, but I don't think that they can use Win 10 IoT.)
Creatron have the Rasp Pi and the necessary accessories. They have two stores in Toronto. I thought the price was pretty reasonable, but don't remember the exact amounts. Peter
