Microsoft has just released a brilliant ad contrasting the capabilities of Windows 8 versus the iPad. I think this ad is perfect, and I hope Microsoft has more of these ads in the pipeline.
I was troubleshooting a Windows 8 laptop that wouldn’t connect to a customer’s wireless network recently. The wireless network was configured using the WEP – Shared Key Authentication method which is horribly insecure and should never be used. After doing some diagnosing and researching I discovered that Windows 8 has dropped support for WEP – Shared Key Authentication. My solution to the problem was to inform the client that he needs to switch to a newer and more secure method of encryption.
