Hello! Same here. I may buy one for the novelty of it, then again I may not. But those low brow comments are getting more and more vile......
And David, I'm referring to all of them. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Hello! It is interesting. A number of weeks after Ron brought up the existence of this gadget, the site I track the availability of discussed the thing.
Basically they are trying to stay out of the argument, but the comments are quite negative. It seems the connector across one end makes it available for the accessories for the rest of us, have the gadget making it an interesting thing to use, but see for yourselves: http://hackaday.com/2013/12/09/the-40-x86-arduino/
as you all will see the comments aren't quite positive in their statements.
I'm not sure which comment you refer to, but a quick review shows only the most trite of "negative" comments, along the lines of "ARM is cheaper."
It would be silly to spend any time discussing things in the hackaday.com comments anyway. The site itself admits they have a problem with the low-brow comments.
But even though I personally have no interest in an x86 clone stuffed into an arduino package, I can find no actual attacks. The comments are pretty tame for what typically happens on hackaday.
Cheers, David
