Instant wireless. I just worry about the security of it... If it connects without you knowing, does that mean I have to trust MSFT to design the software so nobody can follow my tracks? Also, if I am paying for an internet connection at the rate of $50 a month and I add wireless, what will guarantee that my neighbor doesn't add an access port to his fence and tap in for free? Of course, some of us might consider starting our own ISP and share the costs this way. :) That cheap access for anyone in distance will drive a whole new set of smart home appliances that you program from you PC.. I think this is THE KILLER APP we've been waiting for... and it might even control HDTV... :) Kirk
