I installed Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex using a LiveUSB without a problem.

[...] you’re looking at is an MSI Wind, which we reported runs OSX quite nicely back in June. There are a number of tipoffs including the LED indicators, keyboard, battery, and power brick. [...]

MSI Wind and Ubuntu (XUbuntu, to be exact) 8.04.1 get perfectly together for me. I have a Wind thats runnung Xubuntu without any problem. And the installation was just like on any other PC.
I'm glad to have that OS on my umpc, now I'm just waiting for a 6-cell battery.

Screw Apple!
If they won´t do cheap hardware now that all is Intel pc stufff inside anyway, then whatever to EULA.
You can get a MacBook Pro clone for less then half of a real MacBook Pro, and you get the same performance. Steve parks on handicapslot, he can say wahtever he want to this. Any OS should run on any hardware. I do love Apple apps and macs, but they are nothing more then pc´s in a different box and running EFI.

With the release of Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 (july 3rd), it appears that earlier problems installing Ubuntu on the Wind have been resolved.

Maybe… but I still prefer Ubuntu.

I had a similar problem with installing an Intel Atom Mini-ITX board. I had to disable the ethernet interface during installation, and install another ethernet driver afterwards. I filed my work here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229113
