Personally I find it strange a member of XBMC came on this thread and picked up on MarcosQui license thing and not prometheus aggressive and attacking tone to other members and not saying anything about that.
but prometheus with regards to MarcosQui did acknoledge tried to comunicate but how hard could it have been to say something on his official thread. and I sympathise with MarcosQui about having respect by getting the "blessing" in order to use his skin, who he must have spent months in time to make. not to mention his skill.
twelvebore, you are out of order. He justs wants aknowledgement for the hard work hes put in. As with every one else part of XBMC they do it for free and some consideration and appreciation is all they would like. So before you slant anyone ask your self what have you done

If someone wants a pat on the back for their work then they should license it accordingly.

openelc is far better for just xbmc, but if you want to run other stuff then you need to research what OS "stuff" runs on.
Of course you can install windows on the PC you pointed at, its a PC like any other, only smaller, quieter etc.
By "stuff" I mean games, or other programmes that might run only on windows, or an external 3D bluray player software.

Thanks. Has anyone ordered from aliexpress? Any idea if there are import duties to be paid (and if so how much?). I'm in Canada and thinking of using DHL btw.
I understand that the Prometheus box may be overpriced relative to what you can get on that site, but if duty fees are outrageous, it may not be as straightforward as it's been made out to be,

I have ordered from AliExpress and didn't pay import duties, but I am not in Canada. (The only "import duty" in NZ is GST at 15%, but there is an exemption for imports under $400. So if I bought a job lot I'd be paying).

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use his specific install setup. Just use OpenELEC on those mini PCs.
Has anyone thought of trying to just port the software to an openElec build yet? I'm sure it'll be easy to pull and compile. Most of us who give a damn about this forum already have our own XBMC HTPC's, most are probably at least Quad Core with better graphics cards than the prometheus anyway. This is starting to sound as if someone is being allowed to proprietize a free OS/software with their overlays. I'm going to attempt to build this atop my current build. I'll let you know how it comes out. 
guys what is a decent remote/controller keypad i could ude with this?
