Microsoft’s Virtual WiFi

Posted on October 18th, 2005 by darkmoon

Microsoft Research doesn’t want to be outdone by Google Labs. So they released VirtualWiFi. VirtualWiFi cons your wifi card into thinking it can connect to multiple networks and so it does. I would assume that they do it through virtual machine nodes and create multiple IPs for the card itself (similar to how Linux can assign multiple IPs to a single card).
In any case, Windows only download. Go play.

  • Is that a complaint I see? About a Microsoft product? *laugh* Get in line. 😉 Don’t forget that this is free so there’s a good likelihood that it’ll suck more than their regular paid for products.
