And extremely dangerous for most of the people who want to use

it (viz : anyone who handles any data of any sensitivity AND who isn't

a networking guru ; also it's completely unusable in any environments

that even intermittently *require* radio *silence*).

Regardless of the state of any OS's support for WiFi, relying on

WiFi support as an argument about the quality of a particular OS is no

better than relying on the state of the OS's support for encryption of

illegal pornography : it's not something that's appropriate for most

people.
