One correction to the original article: Windows 10 will happily install to the Stream 7 and run just fine, if you use a USB drive and the aforementioned USB OTG -> USB hub -> keyboard/mouse/USB drive method. This is after accepting the Windows 8.1 > 10 upgrade on the device. I know because I did it; while Windows 10 does run a tad slower than 8.1 did, it's usable and space is not an issue using this installation method.

That said, I'd love to see further OpenBSD development on it, and now I'm kicking myself for giving away my tablet. Oh well, they're super cheap on eBay right now, averaging $35, so it's a possible future project.

Not to mention the device has a microSD slot, and I've tested it with up to a 64GB card. If Android is ever successfully ported to the device (100% driver support) we could see Marshmallow's seamless storage effectively make it a 96GB device.
