Wow. AC wireless in a $100 device. Now I'm interested.

What does it do for power? Through the USB port like most other similar devices I'm assuming?

You can get AC routers for under $80 now, and they are basically just Linux boxes.

It apparently has a full-size USB and microUSB port for power purposes.

What? Is this about the future version of Windows that will run on ARM?

Windows has been running on ARM since version 8 (the ARM-specific version was called Windows RT). Since then, Microsoft announced a “special” version of Windows that's intended for the new Raspberry Pi 2.

If I remember correctly, it's more of a runtime for some .NET programs with access to the Pi's GPIO pins than a full-fledged OS.

Amusing that it has a more useful port than the new Macbook.
