I used this feature *a lot* in 2k/xpg) I can't stand IE7h) wouldn't reconnect to wireless network when recovering from standby/hibernation unless I told the wireless network to broadcast its SSID (XP never had a problem with this, and I don't like broadcasting my SSID)i)... etcThere were a few feature that I thought were pretty good, but nothing that overcame the daily annoyances that I mention above, let alone the dealbreaker with Juniper.Cheers</blockquote>
