A.) Your inability to capitalize an "i".

B.) Because your user name contains the word, "Clak".

No white MSI in the states at launch - only black - I settled
2. When white arrives it's only the "Love edition" which was in stock on their site FOREVER because no one wants it for any price.
3. Switching trackpads after review models with poorer quality version
4. Disabled overclocking feature unless you use a bug filled beta BIOS.
5. Still no spare batteries
6. Still no Linux version in the U100
7. Now a cheaper 9" U90 version with SUSE and a a horrible battery
8. I'm beginning to think the rumored 9 cell battery could be real at only 80 pounds.

Get a grip MSI!!!]]>Oct 4th 2008 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/The MSI wind (the first one not this downgraded version) has been marketed under at least 4 or 5 rebranded names, and all of them, ALL, are definitely better that the original.
I feel that I 've been so lucky to be able to buy a 1 month old Medion "miniAkoya" , which is just a rebranded MSI wind but with undeniably better looks and a nice choice of colours.
It was available in Europe 3 month before the MSI and it costed 60 USD less; it included Bluetooth, wifi a,b & g., a 120GB HD, Atom 1,6 Gb CPU, 2 GB ddr2, XP sp3, works, MS office, ulead, all the Nero suite and other useful commercial software + 3 YEARS full guarantee and a carrying sleeve.
Now, 3 months after buying it (and loving it), I still get nearly 3 hours battery life (without using the external DVD writer, or DTV-B)
In the UK Sainsbury sold another rebranding (can't remember the name) for the same price (60 USD cheaper than the original wind with same specs but only 1 (upgradeable ) 1 GB ddr2; and I've seen other rebrandings too of which I can't remember the specs, but I remember that they were all better than the MSI's original.

And now this "new model" that eliminates all that made the wind stand out among netbooks.
Something is seriously wrong whith this guys.

Hate to say it, but linux just doesn't fit right with me...Regardless, lets hope the 9-cell battery isn't a 100-pound oil drum.]]>Oct 4th 2008 4:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/

I think you mis-typed.

I THINK that it will be the basic one with a 6c, since I must be missing the big "upgrade" to "business class"

HARD corners, same size case, keyboard a "tad" bigger the SSD might be available larger but that's because more options just came out.

The only other thing might be the max memory, other than that since the keyboard is "that close" already I don't see it]]>Oct 5th 2008 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/Oct 5th 2008 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/msi-wind-u90-reviewed-thrown-back-to-the-wolves/
