Wi-Fi security issues not worth hassle
The security issue with Wi-Fi is huge, and the marketing machine behind the Wi-Fi technology doesn't even mention that the front door is wide open or that anyone can access a Wi-Fi network.
I have six computers at home. Having just moved into a new house, I considered purchasing Wi-Fi for building a home network and not wiring the house. But after investigating Wi-Fi and the lack of security (associated) with it, I will go to the expense and time it takes to run wire to the attic. The convenience of sitting at the local Starbucks and surfing the Internet is fine--if you trust the other customers doing the same thing.
Microsoft and Wi-Fi are a perfect marriage: Both leave the front door wide open. But Wi-Fi is not for me.
