Re: Drivers ?
I thank that's a fair assumption. If it's aimed at the server market then having network ports is the top requirement. If they use any of the existing network chips then the drivers are already written.
I think if you're not sure what you will use this server for then there is some concern that there is something it might not do. If the only way you can do the job is by running Windows Server then you've bought the wrong hardware. Same would go for running Windows VMs. However if it can be done on Linux then this can do it.
I suspect the only thing stopping people choosing these is lack of experience with non-x86 CPUs. Anyone who has used a Raspberry PI as a server will be quite confident to use this to scale up the project.
