Right. I was just saying that a lot of people who can easily use any microcontroller kit out there think the Arduino isn't good and don't understand why it has become so popular. These same people won't understand what is special about the Raspberry Pi either because the issues are similar.

None of these companies will talk to me unless I promise to buy at least one million chips a year from them. In the case of Marvell they won't even talk to me at all unless I move to a different country. So at least I can't build a Raspberry Pi equivalent (actually, I can if I design my own chip, but that is another story).
