We told you earlier that MSI was going to announce the appearance of the Wind U100 in a "major retailer" and today they did so. We got the PR from MSI that announces the Wind will be appearing shortly in Best Buy stores throughout the US for $399. Soon you’ll be able to walk into a Best Buy and try out a MSI Wind before plunking down your bucks for the unit with a 1.6 GHz Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, Windows XP and a 120GB hard drive. Best Buy will carry the Wind in black and white to match the rest of your cloud. Unfortunately this only has the 3-cell battery but maybe, just maybe we can get our hands on the 6-cell battery to go with it before too much longer.
