It looks like MSI and their Wind are taking the path to the Dark Side. Remember how Asus started pissing everyone off by labeling their Eee trademark on whatever gadget as long as it was small and computer related? We have the Eee mini laptop line, the Eee Monitor, the Eee Box, the Eee Stick. Are we to see the Wind Monitor, or the Wind Stick? Because the Wind Desktop PC is here.

I understand the need for a laptop to be really strong while really easy to move around. What’s the point in creating a really portable desktop? Besides dropping the price? I’m not going to take it with me am I? Sure I will get a few more inches of free space around my workplace, but do I really need it?

Let’s see what MSI has in mind for their Wind desktop line. The mini desktop should sell anywhere from $200 to $300 and it will be released in Asia and Europe in July while the USA will get it in September.

The full specs aren’t available for now but the Wind desktop should pack a 1.6GHz Intel Atom, up to 2 GB of RAM, up to 160GB hard drive, WiFi and a DVD drive.

Want one? Yeah, me neither!
