Hi PA Bear,

Yes, contacting Microsoft support is a definite possibility for me.

Still, I am sort of hoping that there will be some sort of a more
wide-spread fix in the near future, though.

I know that you're seeing some of the users in the Forums to which you
contribute also posting their wireless problems.
