This strikes me as tail-end marketing.
Simply buy an MSI WInd netbook in the next 3 weeks (in Germany) and you can send a form in to receive one of 7 possible ‘presents’ including a grill and a grill-set. Are they shifting stock or trying to sell to the laggards? If it’s the latter then we could be seeing the end of the netbook-rush sooner than we think.

of course the rush will eventually end, but they will still have a permanent steady lifespan alongside regular notebooks for good. they wont disappear like UMPC’s did (original concept).
personally i’m glad its starting to calm down, maybe now they will release truly distinguishing designs instead of all these me-too devices. plus i wont have to read an article on Engadget for EVERY single netbook that ever gets released.
