just tried another release of it

And STILL - the 802.1x auth is NOT working properly on either of the wireless cards in my laptop.

I refuse to use WPA2-PSK when I can use proper WPA2-Enterprise on my trapeze gear - so Ill stick with XP and BSD for the meanwhile.

Does the RTM version have the same expiry as RC1?

All that article does is show how to configure a laptop for WPA/2 and TKIP with PEAP offload to a standard RADIUS server, like Microsoft IAS. That is one of many possible configuration options.

For example, most orgs would have the computer account used (Via a matching user glob for example host/*.*.*) until handoff to the user account was possible - to allow the machine to see the domain to log on. This authentication may or may not also be bonded due to security considerations.

I know how to configure WPA with PEAP offload, I have been installing enterprise wireless networks for 7 years.

It doesnt work with the way I have RADIUS set up on my trapeze hardware - which is the way quite a few smaller orgs would have it running.

No Serious, youre getting the FULL version for that price. Were getting the UPGRADE. So were the ones losing out.

In a dramatic turnaround Microsoft has said that it will ship the same version of Windows 7 in Europe as in the rest of the world, complete with Internet Explorer.

The turnaround was revealed on an official Microsoft blog.

In the posting Dave Heiner, vice president and deputy general counsel for Microsoft, revealed that the decision was taken when the European Commission welcomed the companys proposal to include a browser ballot screen. This option would give consumers a choice of browsers to pick from when they first run Windows 7.

Until the proposal is formally accepted, Microsoft will ship the standard version of Windows 7 in Europe, complete with Internet Explorer as the only browser choice.

Never trust microshaft, theyll screw ya.
