    Could anyone clarify the differences -if any- between the US and Canadian versions of the Wind; specifically the U100-432US and U100-422CA? MSI's website shows they are identical hardware-wise, but I guess there must be a difference...probably in keyboards?

    Or does the Canadian version ship with a box of Tim Horton's?

    I just got my "ca" version. It has an "international" keyboard. It is actually quite irritating. There are a couple extra keys and I constantly have trouble with the enter key and the left shift due to extra keys.

    I highly recommend that if you only write in American English, you get the us version. I wish that I had.
