If not, the DIY approach works.
Yeah, I always install debian anyway. But I decided to stop paying the microsoft tax years ago, so I don't buy anything preinfected with their crapware.

Well, the sticks come with the free version of Windows so they won't be making any money off you that way.

Main thing is the drivers exist and can be found.

I'm thinking that in 1 year or so, these will be under $50 USD.

Maybe sooner.
The low-spec Linux model from intel runs US$80 and the generic version of the high spec Windows model can be had for $110 or so.

The things are basically tablets minus screens or batteries and we *have* seen intel-based low end tablets in the $100 range so I wouldn't be surprised to see an OEM version of the low-end model in the $60 range right now.

All a question of looking in the right place, I think.

Any of you ever had experience with an android stick that is reliable and easy to use?
I see nothing but conflicting reports when I go to look at reviews. They seem to be either perfect or broken in 2 weeks.
