My new laptop arrived and after one day of use, I'm very impressed. I installed the latest version of Ubuntu (8.04) without any problems and within about 2 minutes I had a wireless network connection and was able to surf the net and install my dev environment.
Unfortunately, Mrs Royale still insists on using Windows so - in the interests of domestic harmony - I tried to get the wireless network working on that too. Bearing in mind that I'm an experienced Windows user, I thought this would be a simple task. However, Vista had other ideas and one hour later I still hadn't got it working! :-(
In fact, I've now discovered that Vista has made even this simple task vastly more complicated than it needs to be. EIGHT WINDOWS to create a wireless network connection - is this Microsoft's idea of a joke?!
