"Include NDISwrapper. It's not very large, so I don't understand why NDISwrapper can't be included in the base install. When you don't need it, you don't know it's there, but when you do need it, its absence is intolerable." Whis all the black magic that appears to be involved to get a wifi card to work with ndiswrapper (seek the working windows driver that will work, fwcuttering it, etc) I don't think apt-getting ndiswrapper is such a hassle in comparison. "can't something be worked out with Adobe to include the Acrobat Reader and Flash plugins" I won't even comment on this If this review isn't a joke, what is it?

It becomes a hassle when you need ndiswrapper to get a working internet connection ...

But find me a wireless laptop that doesn't also have an ethernet port :-) Anyway, the point is that including ndiswrapper would be ridiculous - it's a sticking plaster to cover over the true problem, which is getting more driver support into the Linux kernel.
