Microsoft Abandons Wi-Fi

According to this article in Business 2.0, Microsoft is shuting down it's Wi-Fi hardware operations. I'm sad to hear this. I have a Microsoft wireless router and a Microsoft hub and both are excellent pieces of hardware that I'd recommend over anything else I've used. The configuration utility on the router is a fine piece of work and the hub has some cool features like the ability to automatically detect when you plug in the wrong type of cable and reconfigure itself (for instance, if you plug a computer to computer cable from your hub to your laptop instead of a computer to hub cable, it detects this and everything works fine). In any case, all the MS hardware I have used rocks, so I hope they can get their foot in the door somewhere else and stay there for a while.
