> 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i3 Processor (Dual Core 2.4 GHz with HD620 GPU or faster), USB 3.0 port, and 4 GB RAM. Raspberry Pi or a Jetson Nano are probably not gonna work... Seems to be x86 only.

  Given Microsoft's stance on supporting "non-native" setups I think we should be expecting ARM Linux driver's if this device catches on.

Me on the other hand i remain very skeptical with the new Microsoft. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20412905 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20412905

  It's just a matter of following the money. A bigger and bigger slice of Microsoft's income is coming from Azure, and an increasing proportion of Azure users are running Linux. This gives them strong incentive to be the business leaders in open source software. The other increasing slice is services, where they get you to buy stuff from their storefront, or subscribe to their game pass, or office 365, or make personal interactions with Bing and Windows (so they can sell targeted ads). This naturally gives Microsoft the incentive to know everything about you.

    Following the money is exactly why I am skeptical. As Linux becomes a revenue stream for Microsoft it will also become a Microsoft product. From the company that was built on Embrace, Extend, Extinguish I think that is cause for concern.
