Sainsbury's do two Medion Akoyas, a 15.4" Vista job and a mini netbook with
WindowsXP.

The local shop had a Medion Akoya mini netbook E1210 on display at £299, it
looked rather good, but none in stock which was good as temptation was
tugging at the plastic.

PC World had an Advent 4213 at £350 which was also a trifle tasty. 

A quick Google would indicate that the MSI Wind, Advent 4211 and Akoya 1210
are the same, or substantially the same, thing.

WindowsXP is commonly available on all these small machines.
