With the launch on the new Pi 2 on Monday, im thinking of getting one of these to use as an always on usenet client based on the power savings in comparison to leaving even a netbook on 24/7. Looks like a bit of research is going to be required as I've never really used linux before, so the previous posts have been most useful
Moan time - The media really screwed up the launch announcement of this in regards to MS bringing windows 10 to the device whereas in reality 10 IOT. Just imagine, £30, Windows 10 it would have been the greatest computer bargain on the planet but sadly not to be.
I am running OpenElec which is a stripped down version of XBMC with all the features. Works great but is a bit slow in the menus

tried all the pi and find them to slow for a media pc. but looking to get the new one as it looks like it may fix this problem
Looking forward to the new Pi
the updated specs turn this into a real value proposition
Raspberry Pi 2 Model B is six times faster: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/eur...10-and-ubuntu/
how is openelec performance with the raspberry pi 2?

Just get a hummingboard, beagle bone black or banana pi, or something else that isn't a raspberry pi.
The people behind raspberry pi are pushing weird agendas on twitter, and other people do it better nowadays anyways.
On a hate list
That is subjective but I replace my 2 rev1 boards with PI2 and it is very slick with Openelec 5.0.3. There is so much extra stuff other than stream NFS 1080 I know but that is really all I use it for..... video playback is a lot more prompt on startup and navigationOriginally Posted by bubjet
Sorry best I can offer as that is all I use `em for

... also since I`ve seen that post about the xbmc tvaddons "addon" then yes it does that works really well too (not something I tried before but have now).... also very slick with nextpvr addon and menus at same time (again not something I even really attempted in the past - it was crap before)
Now on 5.0.5 of course
