Thanks for trying. Edison was an amazing little chunk of hardware for certain purposes (mine was low-power systems that interfaced to things with proprietary x86 drivers), but it always felt like it was one hardware guy's pet project that nobody in the software department gave half a rotten rat's ass about.
The crap they had instead of tech support was a legendary middle finger to the customers. A bunch of clueless, barely-English-literate drones who did nothing but reply to your post about something wrong the docs by telling you where you can download those same docs, or with "We are aware of that issue. There is no ETA for a fix."
The part I could never understand was their compulsion to mangle and mutilate a 500 MHz, 64 bit, dual core PC until it looked like an 8 bit, 16 MHz microcontroller's retarded cousin. I'm guessing it had something to do with layer upon layer of misunderstanding management, but it must have taken a monumental tower of pointy hair to create that clusterfuck.
I'd be curious to hear about the internal mismanagement that led to the utter failure of the products, if such things may or may not be able to leak out.
