^^ what he said!

He (Mo) IMO tries to sell the OS (skin) as unique and "build from the ground up" which is incorrect. I would have liked to see atleast an acknowledgement to Kodi.
@millhouse, I feel like they are taking a step back from the ideals of XBMC, a software meant to enhance a user with options and customisation, something that doesnt have a steep learning curve but a curve that once mastered (which doesn't take long) gives you a media centre that is the ideal.
The price is just to high for the hardware and since XBMC isn't that hard to learn and is so much more than just a slice of their reality, I feel like they can't justify the markup for software support when the support is offered here from kind and talented expert devs for free.
And if you seen the 2 videos available from Mo, you'll see that its just marketing talk, as observed in video one, where he mentions that there was no product out there that is small and fit a hardrive.. the Nuc is been out for over 6 quarters. The gigabyte Brix... If not for the engineering talent they have on the team I would have taken him for a charlatan IMHO.
