Is it possible to upload a windows image to Google compute engine? - windows

I'm wondering if there's a way to upload windows image to Google compute cloud?
I've seen Google's tutorials for Linux based OS but I couldn't find any reference to Windows except the fact the it is possible to install windows software, and that it's possible to create instances using their own images:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/windows and
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/ms-licensing
In case that it's possible, I'd like to know what's the process of doing that using an Hyper-V image.
Thanks,
David.

Where can I find an example of creating a FaceTime comparable camera in OSX

Many of us are working from home more and I envy the Windows guys who have a virtual webcam plugging in OBS (Open Broadcast Studio). OBS and the Windows plugin are open source projects. As a competent software engineer I should be able to create a plugin that works on OSX -But- I am not a hardened OSX dev.
I am sure I am not googling for the correct APIs and Subsystems. If someone(s) could help me with the Apple concept map to this obscure topic. I would be grateful for a set of crumbs that leads to the OSX API to call(s) to create a camera. I know it can be done as SnapCam does it, but that is a closed-source app.
I am aware of the workaround for OBS that
1) uses code injection and requires disabling security features
2) Doesn't even work in the current versions of OSX
3) Requires yet another app running with video previews etc.
I like the challenge of creating this plugin. I am also wise enough to try and ask for a road map if one is available.
Someone beat me to it. https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam
I thought I would search just githib.com directly with the search "virtual camera macos site:github.com". Constraining the search to just GitHub was quite useful.

Recommendations on Installing our app on Surface Pro (3+)

We have built a working MSI/application for desktop . The client is requesting feasibility to install on a few Surface Pro (3+) devices and I’m not knowledgeable at all about how this may be different. We can create appx, but we really want to have to avoid the store. Must we install through the store? We also don’t have or intend a MDM solution as we are an outside contractor. Is side loading the only option? Or is there a better approach?
For the iOS devices we can use enterprise account and install by a single link to our servers by passing store and mdm , just a link. Could there be something similar for windows?
Thanks

Kudan with unity3d object tracking running on windows

kudan community. I'm developing an application where I need to use augmented reality, but my application will run on windows computer with two monitors (where one is projecting the augmented reality), connected with a webcamera. Also I need to track an object (not a marker).
I was testing this with the vuforia library and it works on the unity editor, but doesn't work when I try to compile the application on windows. (I know that now vuforia support universal windows apps, but I can't make this works and also from what I see doesn't support multiple monitors).
So I saw that kudan support windows and object tracking but I read the tutorial and wikis and I can't seem make it work.
Any body can guide me on the right track on how achieve this?
PD. I'm using unity engine 5.4 and windows 10 os

Downloading supported file using Windows Phone 7

I am having the following problem when using windows phone.
I have created a handler Download.ashx which takes query ID that I am using to retrieve data from database. Pretty simple stuff and it works on desktop browsers. However when I am trying to use that same way on windows phone 7 I get an error "can't download file windows phone doesn't support this file type"
After quick search on google, I found that WP7 doesn't support this kind of way for downloading files. They should be direct links, for downloading to work.
So my question is: What is the best way to go around this problem, or is there any?
Edit: Oh, and the software I am writing is C# web application that used on mobile devices. WP7.5 is the one having problems

Image manipulation on Google App Engine

I just found out that PIL functions on Google App Engine (GAE) are limited to only some basic functions.
I'm attempting to deploy a GAE app which is able to add text over an image and it is not possible to use GAE's Images Python API.
So right now, I'm hoping to look for alternatives:
External service I can call to modify the image?
The python 2.5 runtime only supports a limited set of operations through the Images API. However, the python 2.7 runtime supports the full PIL suite.
