To me, this always seems like a failed attempt of Intel/Microsoft trying to reproduce/combat the success of Raspberry Pi and Linux. Probably aimed at people who envy the Raspberry Pi owners but are too afraid of having to deal with something else than the Windows OS they feel familiar with.

But I think it just doesn't work. The key to Raspberry Pi's success is having all the basic ingredients that a desktop PC has while being extremely cheap, extremely small, extremely low power consuming and completely silent.
This, however, seems to be quite the opposite: A ridiculously expensive board with a very noisy micro-sized fan.

Apart from being small and portable,what advantage does this board have? Nothing...
