I have never had a problem with wireless using WPA 1 or 2 and both encryptions, not to mention all WEPs. Have you considered the possibility of a poor driver? And if so, how is that Microsoft's fault?
I agree it is hard to use the UI for those annoying times, but become familiar with ipconfig and you should be just fine.
That's just not true. XP home did not have domains, vista home premium doesn't domain unless you do some trickeration.
