Sadly no, the only platforms that Windows 10 will run on are IA-32, x64, and ARMv7 but the B+ runs the ARM11.

Also if you check the post from windows it states
we are expanding our Windows Developer Program for IoT by delivering a version of Windows 10 that supports Raspberry Pi 2

There is no mention of it running on the B+.

And this version of Windows10 is an "Internet of things" developers release, it will probably not have "windows", just a command line.

From their FAQ:
Q: What UI stacks do you support?
A: For this release, we’ve targeted Galileo, which is a headless device, without any built-in support for standard displays. For that reason, we do not include any UI stack in the device, beyond the command line interface (via Telnet). However, being a dev kit, you can do all kinds of projects communicating which wire in small display devices such as, ePaper, liquid crystal, etc.
It seems like they're leaving the possibility that the pi 2 release may have a gui (or it might not). It's best not to speculate until more information comes from MS.

But keep in mind the 10 most important things to know about this version of "Windows":
  1. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  2. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  3. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  4. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  5. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  6. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  7. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  8. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  9. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
  10. It won't run any of your usual x86 Windows software, so it is pretty much useless to most people
And some folks need to stop being fanboys and see the forest behind the trees.

As long that my Visual C++ Win32 programs can compile(like Windows RT) , it's fine.
(if it is ModernUI only, it would take a while,...)
