Despite rumors that Microsoft won't cheaply license Windows XP to netbooks with dual storage methods, MSI will continue to sell the Wind U-115.
The new Wind is equipped with a low power Intel Atom “Menlow” Z530 CPU with a Poulsbo US15W chipset and uses a combination of solid state and hard disc drives to provide lots of storage while boosting battery life. Microsoft is said to have given MSI until the end of June to take the Wind U-115 off shelves. However, in a statement to
NetbookNews.de in Germany, where the Wind U-115 is on sale now, MSI Germany says it will continue selling the model until the launch of Windows 7 in October 2009. Sales just began in the United States.
