Who wants this? Someone looking for a small chip (possibly to buy in mass quantity) and willing to cope with very few ports and having adapters dangling out of the board Someone looking for a board with enough ports that has a very small power footprint Someone looking for a working and stable board that runs Linux, can run most basic programs, and has many ports to work with Someone looking to develop integrated device technology (for devices such as smart appliances) because this board can run Windows 10 for IOT (Internet of Things)

Always remember, this is a board the size of a credit card. Do not expect it to run Fallout 4 or Adobe Photoshop. Do not buy the Pi 2 solely because it says "Windows." This is a special developer-only type of Windows 10. Be prepared to run a foreign operating system, Linux. Make an amazing project with your board and share it with the community.
