It is electronic hardware that requires programming by you and interfacing to other electrical components by you wiring it up. In other words, if you don't know what this is, this is nothing you can use.
It's not clear to me what space this fills. Is it just the built in Microsoft cloud and security that make it special? It seems like a huge price premium for that. Even in large lot sizes/pricing, my naive guess would be it's only appropriate for premium manufactured appliances and such, like $2000 refrigerators. But I'm still very much a micro-controller/embedded/soc/iot newbie, so looking for a broader perspective...
Added: The geek in me wants to get one and play. The slick-dealer in me asks, "Are you just going to make the led blink and then put it on a shelf, and is that worth even the $8.00 shipping?"

It's for people who are interested in developing IoT in the Azure Cloud. Its not for everyone. I just saw the deal and shared it, so I hope i didn't come off as anything outside of this is a opportunity to get something that was $75 plus shipping for $0 plus shipping.
