Microsoft Virtually Duplicates Your Wireless Card

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the engineers-having-fun dept.

akhomerun writes "Microsoft has released version 1.0 of its experimental new VirtualWiFi Software. The free software enables Windows users to use a single wireless card to connect to multiple wireless networks simultaneously. The current build is a very primitive release, with no support for WEP or WPA encryption."

    As always with Microsoft, security is an afterthought.

    I'd say it's par for the course...

    "what more could I ask for?"

        Encryption. The fact that Micro "We Get Security now. Really." soft released a wireless driver that lacks this fundamental security feature is ripe for derisive jokes. Honestly, why even release the driver before you can provide this basic ability? It is a problem waiting to happen.
