It's for this reason...

Buried in the details of Microsoft's technical preview for Windows 10 (look for our own discussion in short order), is a bit of a footnote concerning the operating system's requirements.

There are very few products that have genuinely made me go "wow", but I can safely add the Nixie drone camera to that modest list.
