Microsoft's WiFi Announcement About Nothing In Particular
Microsoft is getting some press this morning for some announcements about improved WiFi software, but the actual guts of the announcement seem a little difficult to parse. Glenn Fleishman takes a stab at rewriting the press release for Microsoft, but points out that it's a pretty minor announcement. However, for most reporters, any "major" company announcing something new in WiFi means they need to get press coverage. It appears that all the announcement is really saying is that the next version of Windows, along with an update for Windows XP, will make it easier to connect via WiFi.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
