Then Windows is not ready for the masses either. On my dual-boot work laptop, neither Windows nor Linux explicitly tell me that the wireless switch is off. The laptop itself, however, has a WiFi light next to the charging light and disk activity light which tells me as soon as I turn on the laptop before either OS is even booted, so it must be a bios thing.
