MSI Wind launch was delayed by ripped movies, family photos?

Namely, illegal screener copies of movies and some family photos. That could explain MSI's temporary delay in shipping this thing out -- a preemptive recall -- but the when, where and what of the recall are a bit hazy, so we recommend rummaging around for the files just in case they're eating up your hard drive room or contain that one flick you were dying to watch with large "Screener copy!" signs flashing past.<br /><br />[Thanks, Patrick S.]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heise.de%2Fnewsticker%2FRueckrufaktion-MSI-Wind-PC-mit-Problemen--%2Fmeldung%2F115538&sl=de&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/msi-wind-launch-was-delayed-by-ripped-movies-family-photos/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1305945/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/msi-wind-launch-was-delayed-by-ripped-movies-family-photos/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=1eWMvT"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=1eWMvT" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=vkIGl"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=vkIGl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=4hMYl"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=4hMYl" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/384520411" height="1" width="1"/>
