Thanks Betty, Tom, and Mike, for your info.
After looking it over, I've decided that for my degree of computer
expertise, I should leave my MSI Wind just they way it is. It does run
iTunes well, and that's the main reason that I purchased it.
BTW, I paid $379 + $9 shipping at Costco.com, for the MSI Model
U100-432US Netbook. It has the better battery and supposedly better
audio, and a padded case. This also includes some mildly useful tech
support from Costco, the option for a fully refundable return within
90 days; and from the AMEX card, a second year of warranty identical
to the MSI warranty, and a 1% rebate.
One glitch tho -- When I connect the audio out directly to the input
of my amp, there's no problem. When I connect it thru an unshielded
switchbox, I get some noise in the audio, and additional noise when I
use the trackpad. When I disconnect the MSI's AC adaptor at either the
AC input or the DC output, the noise goes away.

I have an MSI Wind which I use as my jukebox, with iTunes. I've read
articles in which people describe how they put OS X on the machine,
but it seems that one must be quite knowledgeable to do so. I'm not
that knowledgeable. Has anyone heard of a "turnkey" solution?
