The bios is pretty easy to get around.
The audio driver is another matter, but isn't the intel offering using the same chipset? Hopefully they should sort tha, in an open source fashion.
Unfortunately I bricked my meegopad, but I also have a guleek i8. Same chipset, runs ubuntu nicely apart from the audio.

Not a stick, but Zotac Nano is using the same cpu, but with two usb ports.

So some Swedish retailers are showing this on there website with delivery status April 17. Very excited!
How is the Linux version(but with openelec installed) compared to a Rpi2 performance wise? Talking blurays and gui etc?
The price for an Rpi2 with wifi, sdcard, power and case is pretty much the same as an Compute Stick in Sweden.

Since i live in Sweden the Chromebox are double the price of an Compute stick.
I have a Rpi2 which works great! But i would love to have another kodi player with the ability to watch "play/webtv" channels, so i would need windows.
How do you guys think this one compares to Rpi2 kodi wise?

Gizmodo's article is pretty much garbage. The author says it's a bad buy because it didn't work for his uses, which are basically everything you wouldn't want to use an intel atom processor for. They tried to play games on it... WTF? God, I hate tech news blogs. I really really hate them.
