Line 22:
Microsoft does not charge fees for developing applications using the .NET Micro Framework and makes an SDK freely available for download (however, Visual Studio Standard or better is required; the free Visual Studio Express editions cannot be used). Distributing devices that use the .NET Micro Framework does require a license, with royalties based on volume.
 
The .NET Micro Framework has its roots in Microsoft's [[Smart Personal Objects Technology|SPOT]] initiative and was used in [[MSN Direct]] products such as smart watches before being made available to third-party developers early in 2007. Today, it is a common platform for [[Windows SideShow]] devices and is beginning to see adoption in other markets, such as home automation and sensor networks.
