Welcome to the MSI Wind Wiki
This wiki was started on 11th May 2008, by Lee. We hope this will become a place where MSI Wind users can meet, gather and provide information about the MSI Wind as a community. The MSI Wind is one of the first UMPCs confirmed to be using the new Intel Atom line of processors and also the first UMPC to be spotted with the processor inside it. This allowed benchmarks to take place and proved that this machine is quite usable. The MSI Wind can truly be mobile in a way that we haven't seen before.
