MSI Wind is very very convenient to take wherever i go. it has basic features only but for general internet browsing this is good enough.

MSI Wind is basically good for net surfing and some light applications. for heavy gaming and multi-tasking apps, i would still use those heavy, bulky laptops.

i just bought an MSI Wind notebook. i was surprised about how lightweight this gadget is. the features are pretty basic for a netbook but it is sufficient for my application.

i think that the design of the MSI Wind is much better than the Asus Eee Pc. I own an Asus Eee and Msi Wind, both are solid performers.

[...] Windows versions, or have bad drivers. This is a bad case and probably partially the reason for of MSI Wind netbooks with Linux being more often returned than the Windows version, which I wrote a blog about [...]

I agree that it should be made clear to people what it is that they’re buying and that it isn’t windows. I think often even the people selling those Linux netbooks don’t know anything about the OS, which I’m sure is probably often the case in rather big retailers and people even if they liked to seek help instead of returning it have no other choice because they’re alone.

This isn’t the fault of Linux or any Linux flavour I’ve seen on such devices as they are pretty much straight forward in their appearance pointing at all the default features.

People are just afraid of change, all of those netbooks run notably slower when you put XP on them and people do notice the difference in performance but they don’t care, they want the stuff they’re used to.

Anyway, we should not forget about the positive impact of all those netbooks with Linux on it that aren’t returned. It’s still a long way ahead of us, but more and more people are getting aware of Linux and that’s a good thing.
