After numerous delays, the first MSI Wind netbooks seem to be shipping. Gizmodo got their hands on one, and have already posted a brief review.

According to the review, it’s everything the Eee should have been.

In short; $499 gets you a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, a 10″ display, 1GB ram and an 80GB drive. The price drops $100 if you select Linux.
