Except from what I hear, recent buyers of the Wind aren't getting the same high-quality units as the review units, and parts have been changed for cheaper varieties.
I got tired of waiting for the six-cell Wind, then upon hearing news of MSI swapping out hardware for crappier stuff, I jumped ship and bought a Asus Eee 1000h.
Yeah... cheaping out on parts with Dell less than 24 hours away (supposedly) was a poor move. If anything they should have jacked the thing up a bit to prepare for the competition to get serious.

Hey, my name is Ryan, too, and, oddly enough, my story is pretty much the same, except instead of buying the 1000H I got the Lenovo S10.

Wake me when MSI or ASUS have a netbook that can run CRYSIS.
I can't just settle for Quake 2 anymore.
There are OTHER games, flashpoint
@Ryan: I agree. I got the 1000H as well and I love it. The 6-cell also doesn't bulge out like the MSI Wind's 6-cell. I am happy :D
