MSI Wind Hybrid

"The Wind has proven to be popular with many netbook fans and in October of 2008 MSI announced that it had the successor to the Wind U100 netbook in the works. MSI has now made the specifications for the U100's new sibling public. The MSI Wind U115 is the world's first hybrid storage notebook. The machine uses an SSD for the OS to get the benefits of fast booting and data access with an internal HDD to provide more storage space for documents, music, and other data."
Looks like the best of both worlds. However, this assumes that they are using an SSD with an actual speed advantage. I seem to recall reviews showing that the SSD's from some of the netbooks were not geared for performance.
