Thats not it
This is about wi-fi security and hijacking the link. If someone doesnt use additional security features then they are stupid.

It wont deter windows from being used or prevent systems prebuilt with Windows being shipped, until someone loses info off their system. It will highlight the lack of security again. What would be funny is someone sues MS for providing a product that is easily compromised because of poor security. But the EULA protects them from it (until a mayor or senator/big wig get's nailed).

This is going to open a legal can of worms if people start pointing the finger at MS because of dirct loss. Then again are they going to sue the manufacturer of the wi-fi equipment for selling a product with poor security?

Wait and see
