Is the current OpenELEC build likely to run on the new Pi, just using one core, or won't it be working at all?
no, it needs at least OpenELEC-5.0.1 with a own build (which will be released later today (if all goes well) on http://www.openelec.tv)

Unfortunately that won't work as you'll need a new ARMv7 kernel but I'm pretty confident there will be official OpenELEC RPi2 builds publicly available before the first Pi2's are dropping through letter boxes!
Upgrading a Pi1 installation to Pi2 should be fairly trivial - basically just replace the kernel.img and SYSTEM files in the FAT partition. The firmware is the same.

It's like christmas and birthday happening on the same day.
I just ordered 6 in absolute panic. I thought if i don't get them now it will take them months until they can supply enough for the high demand.
It is such a great piece of hardware for only a few bucks.

Hopefully it will be capable of hevc 720p -or even 1080p- main profile software decoding?
