That article contains this quote:

'A source close to the company said Microsoft entered the
Wi-Fi field with hopes of "raising the bar" on security ...'

The notion of M$ "raising the bar" on security leaves me ROTFLOL.

hehe - well, I guess *their* bar was pretty low to begin with... ;-)

I have some of MS's wireless gear - a router and a USB adapter... The router
works well as an access point but a LOT of people are having serious issues
with it as a router. In my case, I am very glad I did not attempt to replace
my wired router with the MN_700 - I just piggybacked it on my existing
network.

Considering the current idea of "security" on wireless they certainly fit
right in...
