The author of this article stated the following regarding Kodi in the comments:
Kodi worked great for what I used it for! I Streamed some stuff from the internet, dicked around in the menu and streamed some ripped DVDs from my desktop PC in the other room. Sadly, I didn’t have any higher res videos handy to stream, but everything I tried with it was fine.
We have a MeeGoPad stick at work. Its primary use now is to be a dedicated information / display computer, connected to a TV in a lobby area. Prior to deploying the stick for that purpose (right after I re-imaged it with Windows 8.1) I installed Kodi and streamed Big Buck Bunny across the network to it (with a USB-to-Ethernet adapter) and it played flawlessly. I tested with every 1080P codec they had available on the site, all played great.
The computer stick will be a fine Kodi device, but you'll definitely want an Ethernet adapter if Intel's until is remotely comparable to MeeGoPad's WiFi (which is crap in my experience). I hope Intel's actual until will be better.
