I work with embedded systems.  I love that Intel is getting involved
in the dev board market, and I especially love the open hardware.  I
don't think they've found their niche yet, though.  As with the
Minnowboard, the Galileo seems to have hit the awkward spot between
a BeagleBone and an Atom board.

Between the BeagleBone Black, an ATMega/Arduino, and a Raspberry Pi,
I'm quite content with my current selection.  I'm an ARM fan, but
not blind to the advantages of x86.  If I want x86, though, I'm
likely to just go up to an Atom board or other Mini-ITX SBC.

Here's hoping Intel keeps pushing open hardware dev boards and
manages to either cut their price in half or double their
performance.  I'm really curious to see what they can do.
