Cute! Except for this part:

| Software
|     Windows® XP® or newer 

And it's $199.00 unless you can prove you're a student/academic.
You can get a standalone pocket scope for $99:

Supposedly you can use sound card inputs to make a software
oscilloscope, but the last time I looked for Linux solutions,
the only projects I found were so old they used OSS mixer interfaces
that no longer exist in modern distro kernels. Anybody know of one
that works?
