MSI releases Windy Zone software for Wind netbooks

windy-software

MSI is launching a “Windy Zone” software pack for MSI Wind U100 and U90 users. There are currently 6 games and one rather useless app called MSI Q-Face that lets you add cheesy effects to your instant messaging icon. The gamepack actually looks like it could be fun. The games include a few scrolling space shooters like Chicken Invader and…

VIBO to bundle a “free” MSI Wind U90 with wireless data plan

Wireless carrier VIBO has partnered with MSI to offer customers in Taiwan the ability to pick an MSI Wind U90 netbook for “free.” And when I say free, I mean you have to pay for the netbook up front. But you then get a discount on your wireless data service which brings the price down to $0, but only after…

A closer look at the MSI Wind U90

If you’re in the market for a netbook and looking for a bargain, you might be considering the MSI Wind U90.

Unboxing the MSI Wind U90 – Video

The MSI Wind U90 is the U100′s little cousin. Well, it’s not actually smaller. It just has a smaller screen and a larger bezel around the display. So if you want to save a few bucks, you can pick up the U90 instead of the U100, right? Well, not if you live in the US, because it’s not available here…

MSI discusses next-generation Wind netbooks

The MSI Wind U100 is certainly one of the most well-received netbooks of the summer. While it has the same specs as many other low-cost laptops (1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM and 80GB HDD), the computer is solidly built, has an easy to use keyboard, and gets decent battery life. Now…

But if you’ve been waiting (im)patiently for this model to show up,…

MSI Wind U90 runs SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

MSI has chosen SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (or SLED) as the operating system for the company’s MSI Wind U90 netbook. The U90 is virtually identical to the U100, except that it has an 8.9 inch display instead of a 10.2 inch screen, ships with Linux (for now), and will not be available in the US anytime soon. Engadget snapped about…
