MSI Caves In To My Threat

You better see my tongue in cheek there.

Tiffany Lin, Marketing Specialist for MSI in California, emailed me:

The Windows version of the Wind is priced at $499 MSRP, and will be available for purchase starting June 16th, 2008 at www.msimobile.com. The Linux based models of the Wind will be available at the same site later this summer for $399 MSRP.

And we may be able to release more retailers' info for carrying the Wind NB shortly.

I hope so!

I'm not going to buy it without feeling up that keyboard.

The hp Mini Note was promising but its keyboard and weight disqualified it.

The Lenovo U110 sounded soooo good but its keyboard killed it for me.

I would have been very disappointed had I bought either of those sight unseen.

I don't want that to happen with the MSI Wind.

Besides, I can have that Asus e900 to fall back on.
