Not Even McDonald’s Can Make Windows Networking Easy

Here’s a horribly depressing scenario for you: you’re at a McDonalds, laptop in tow, and struggling to configure your complimentary cheeseburger wireless. Why do you need Wi-Fi? Are you Googling what happened to your life? Nugget liveblog?

The fact that Windows setup requires 12 different steps with seven different diagrams, as opposed to OS X’s respective three and two, is a statement unto itself. But the real statement is that if you’re reading a brochure entitled “Need More Help Setting Up…” at a McDonalds, the kind of help you need won’t be found in a Wi-Fi instruction manual.
