Just thought I'd let you know about this little new thing in Windows 7 for SoftAP
Basically, MS finally got with the times like Apple and have now added for functionality to create a software access point of your system. AKA, I can share my internet connection as an actual access point, rather than an adhoc network. However, they didn't really make a frontend for it in 7, but these guys picked up where they left off. Some of you who may frequent Sony/MS/Nintendo boards often will see people asking if they can get their PS3, Xbox, iPhone, DS or whatever to connect wirelessly to the internet through a broadcasted SSID from their laptop. Usually it had to result in an Ad-Hoc network (unless on OSX), and I know for a fact PS3 doesn't support ad-hoc. But hopefully some of you can put this new feature of Windows 7 to good use.

It might be getting hammered right now (popular on Gizmodo), but it works wonders. Now I can have my PS3 / iPhone connect wirelessly to the internet through my laptop, without having to purchase a wireless router over here in the UK. More beer money!
