TAIPEI -- OEM/ODM Micro-Star International will refocus its notebook computer line on the hot netbook market and may spin off its Wind brand of low-cost "nettop" PCs. MSI shipped a reported three million netbooks and
notebooks in 2008, mainly to Europe. It debuted some 25 PC models in
2008 and could roll out as many as 30 this year. The company ships about an equal number of netbooks and PCs each year, and while it forecasts the second quarter to be a trough, it expects substantial growth overall in 2009.
