I guess their version of Windows is not as wireless aware as MAc though. The Apple Airport software can automatically detect networks, but they were having trouble with that.

Windows does not come with Perl, either, so writing a program to scan a network (even if you know it was 192.168), then brute force the password (most routers use the same things) are almost impossible for them.

If I did not want to use Perl, I could have used C, Ruby, or Python. That's stuff that comes on the install discs from Apple.

It is more of a success story for Perl, though, and why every computer should have it available. :)
