So, why do you avoid spaces in usernames and folder names? Is it because it makes your life somewhat more complicated, and there may be use cases where a folder name with a space might result in unintended behaviour when used in a script? Maybe the programmers of your guest wireless system faced the same issue?
And as for Windows accepting spaces - I don't really see that as relevant. For every system that accepts spaces, there'll be another that doesn't. Do you know we still have mainframe apps that don't accept passwords >8 characters? What's your opinion of those?

I use passphrases as my passwords wherever I can. Today trying to log into our guest wireless for the first time I'm presented with a portal and when I enter my password and it tells me "passwords must not contain spaces". Seriously? I have has a space in my Windows passwords for years - while I avoid spaces for fields I might script, like username and folder names, for a password I've never worried about it. Dumb.
