Wow it ain't cheap. £500 with Linux. You may as well run a barebones pc and how is it going to be profitable outside of windows gaming?....

That may work, but its all been done before and it's called a console. I've got tablets, nas drives, ps3, laptops and tvs that stream and do everything I want. How is this going to convince me that its got a place in my home?
