I'm not sure if you're talking to me or Luke... if it's me, the only
product line of Intel's that I'm interested in is now a ghost... namely the
Atom SoCs, like the Z3735F, which they stupidly killed off because I guess
they don't like all those Chinese clones of the Compute Stick or something.
Dunno. Given all of those clones that are on eBay (as sticks and as
so-called "MiniPC" boxes), it's not like they weren't shifting enough chips
or anything... and the only thing I don't like about them (other than poor
Linux support, which has mostly been rectified already) is that you can't
backport them to Win7 because of the low-level interface crap that W7
doesn't have drivers for because nobody took up the bother.

...for the record, I'll use Win7 for a few things... but don't ask me to
use anything newer, I don't trust it and I can't stand the look...
