MSI Wind available at Best Buy, not a computer

As previously hinted by MSI, the original Wind is now available through BestBuy retail outlets throughout the US. At this stage you can only get the 3-cell version so Caveat Emptor. Liliputing pointed out that BestBuy even went to the lengths of launching a section on their web page explaining just what a netbook is. Of course I don't really know much about netbooks really so I am going to have to believe them when they say netbooks aren't technically computers. Dammit! I knew there was something I didn't like about my Wind!

To quote their website;

"Netbooks may look like laptops, but they don't have the full capabilities of a computer. Instead, a netbook specializes in mobility and the Web, so it's great for travel or as a supplement to your main PC."

How dare I use my Wind as my main PC for iTunes,  multi-tabbed browsing, Office 2007, Photoshop CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Skype and other apps that should be run by a proper computer! Hmmm... I guess we'll have to add BestBuy to the list of people that don't understand netbooks
