Hello All,
I found this interesting.... Microsoft leaving the hardware
wireless business, possibly because of my "favorite" vendor, Linksys.

Surprisingly, Microsoft announced it will pull out of the Wi-Fi home
networking hardware business. The company broke into this market niche
in 2002 with a line of 802.11b products, which later evolved into a new
802.11g line that included routers and USB, PC Card and PCI card
adapters. Analysts indicate that Microsoft's decision may have been
based on the stiff competition the software giant faced in this market,
especially after Cisco acquired wireless home networking market leader
Linksys. In addition, the company was somewhat late to market with its
11g products, which analysts from the Synergy Research Group believe may
have hurt its sales in this market.
