Default MSI Wind Starting to Blow into Town

http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/...n-shipping-for/

"We just got to handle the new laptop, and we think MSI might have a winner here. The laptop is shipping with SUSE Linux exclusively to start, with an XP version in the works, and boots quite rapidly to the full OS. SUSE has never looked better, and we think these two might be quite the pair. MSI has kept the full keyboard of the 10-inch Wind, and merely bumped up the bezel while cutting the price; all the other specs are the same. MSI is planning on shipping this at the end of September or beginning of October for 339 Euro (no word on a US release)."

 

I'm really down to this and the Dell (whenever they get around to releasing it) as a potential replacement for my first gen Eee.  The larger screen and bigger keyboard will be welcome additions as long as the price is right.

Yeah, what the heck is up with Dell? There hasn't been a peep about it in quite a while...
