Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

For a very long time now I've been under the impression that there is just something wrong with the WiFi support in XP. Frequently my laptop and my wife's would just refuse to get an IP address from our router. I usually have to do a repair, reboot of the base station or reboot of the laptop. This happend with 3 different laptops that I've owned.
Needless to say this was just plain annoying.
Then a few weeks ago I installed this update to get WPA2 support since my Airport Express supports that new standard.
Lo and behold I have yet to experience any wireless problems. Rock solid.
I suspect there were some bug fixes in there. Since the update is optional though I bet you don't have it.
