Does someone know what's the current state of TF on Windows? I've used it for some image classification homework 1.5y ago and back then I had some issues but it kind of worked.

Does someone have more recent experiences in some hobby project or even in a production env? Or are there other NN frameworks when using Windows?

It's pretty easy to get running on Windows since 1.0 or whatnot, in my experience. I just ran `pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu` and do that on every release and it works just dandy. You get a binary wheel of course, so the install is quick and painless.

I did have to install a new cudnn 7 DLL recently after moving to 1.5 (or 1.6) with CUDA 9. That's about it.

I don't use all the fancier tools though (e.g. loading from GCS/S3 buckets etc, just local data for me). But everything seems to works just fine these days, it seems.

Yea I managed to get it working pretty quickly and I was a complete newbie. Keras made it MUCH easier the second time around.
It works fine on Windows now.
