Free Raspberry Pi Type Board From MS!

If any of you get yours and decide you don't like it or don't have time, I'd easily pay for shipping to get a chance with it. I didn't get one either, and am a developer. I just have zero interest in paying $100 or so for something I am only going to goof around with.

$50 through amazon

Aww shucks, forgot about this. I signed up and received the we will let you know when it ships email. Oh well. Had something I wanted to try though. Guess I'll try another device.

Yeah, why on earth would I want this when I could get a proven, well understood, huge community Pi pretty much anywhere including Microcenter for $30-$35?

Also lost nothing but a few minutes of time, so can't complain. Still feels like a completely flubbed effort.

Because some people are a lot more comfortable, familiar and experienced in developing for Windows environments and APIs than they are for *nix? Or they want to do something different maybe?
