Hmm, looks like 12 GBP to sign up as a developer. That's a one-off lifetime payment.
Just signed up to the "Windows Developer Program for IoT" and didn't see any mention of a fee. Perhaps that come later.
My PiB2 arrived this morning but haven't had much time to play with it. I ran an Update/Upgrade though and that did seem noticeably more sprightly, as it should I suppose!
FWIW, I've been using a Pi B for monitoring router stats (and central heating temperatures) for the last year or more. A homebrew solution, that adheres to the KISS principles, is not too difficult to achieve...
On the Pi a Python script, run once a minute as a cron job, accesses the router via telnet, grabs a couple of pages of text, parses the required information out of them and appends the results to a text file in csv format.
On the PC I use the PuTTY ftp client to, when asked, grab this csv file from the Pi and save it.
I've then written an application (using Dolphin Smalltalk) to display the stats in a graphical format.
All works quite well* and is easily modifiable if I need to monitor an extra stat or two.

*If anyone knows how to get the IPv4 uptime (as displayed on the routers gui status page) via telnet on a ZyXel VMG 8324 I would be grateful for the details. It's the one stat I can't find!
