Microsoft Waves Goodbye to Wi-Fi

May 11th, 2004

Just after entering the Wi-Fi market for about nineteen months, Microsoft now decides to leave. This happens just after the launch of its new MN-710 USB 2.0 802.11g adapter. According to the company's representative, products like routers, adapters will still be sold and supported. Though, production is halted so units sold on shelves will not be replaced. MS's short-lived Wi-Fi mission is to "bar the bar on wireless experience."
