Warning- HIS netbooks are counterfeits

Graphics card maker HIS has issued a warning that netbooks that have appeared in India with HIS branding are counterfeits.  The company does not make netbooks nor do they plan to.  They promise swift retribution to those they find producing netbooks with their branding.  HIS netbooks have shown up on the web looking like rebranded MSI Wind netbooks but they are not real so don’t plunk down your hard-earned money for one.
