awesome mobo

Pros: Running mythtv on this board. I have acpi running so that it sleeps and wakes up to record programs. Had to write some custom scripts to handle acpi, but overall works well with linux.
Cons: none that I can think of.
Aweful

Pros: hotkey control
Cons: This is the worst KVM i've ever used (and I've used quite a few). My biggest gripe is that if there is a resolution or more change on a computer, the KVM shuts off that input and WILL NOT recover. You have to reboot it by unplugging the power. If you reboot a computer, chances are, it will shut off and must be rebooted. If you change to a resolution or refresh that it doesn't like, it locks up and you must reboot. Horrible
Overall Review: Not worth the time it took me to install it. Wish I had never bought this thing.
Flaky software on Win7

Pros: Small form factor. I purchased it to send 7.1 surround from my media center PC to my Dolby receiver via optical cable.
Cons: Plugged it in via optical cable to my digital receiver/amplifier. Loaded the drivers and software. I clicked on 8 channel sound but everything seems to be truncated to the 2 front channels when running the included 7.1 speaker test. I haven't tried the analog outputs yet but I really didn't want to go analog. I'm using Windows 7 32 bit.
Hard to Navigate

Pros: Easy to hold when running. Small. No Cable Needed. Doubles as a mem stick when needed,
Cons: Insane to navigate between folders while running!! rubber coating comes off when used for sports. headphone jack shorted after a year of heavy use.
Overall Review: nice for occasional use but not for sports applications.
2 boards DOA

Pros: Board looks like it has nice features
Cons: 2 boards came DOA. No video signal or beeps. Nothing. I'm not trying a 3rd. Very disappointed. Do they even bother turning these things on before shipping them out?
