"It uses the same chassis, has the same specification, but it costs just £279.99 -- at least £40 less than some online vendors are selling the Wind for. How? It's quite simple: MSI is an ODM (original design manufacturer), which means it makes barebones chassis for its own use and to sell to other companies, known as SIs (system integrators).

Inside, you get a 1.6GHz N270 Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Windows XP -- no Linux option is available." - Alan Cheslow via Bookmarklet
