I agree with 'Anonymous iTV Consultant' completely. I have a wireless network at home with 3 devices on it, which was an absolute doddle to set-up.

Then came the security configuration and despite being very PC literate I couldn't even begin to configure the security because whatever I tried effectively 'broke' the wireless connection.

I PM website production and if a site is unusable by Joe Public you can bet that it's a resounding failure, so I'd very much like someone to tell me why PC software companies get away with building unusable rubbish that seems designed specifically to leave security holes through the average user not being able to configure it.
