wireless connection with windows 7 or apple imac

[riptide]

I have a new BT Home Hub with "n" technology router. My laptop is situated upstairs away from the router and it never disconnects from the wireless connection and I must say I am very impressed with the new BT router. My question is, because my laptop only has a 15inch screen and limited memory, I would like to upgrade to a desktop, which will replace the laptop upstairs and again be wireless. I have heard that there has been connection problems with the new windows 7 computers and was wondering whether an apple imac would be a better choice, although I have no experience of apple.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

where have you heard this?

the only problems I've heard of with widows 7 and wireless are from people installing it on older computers and there are not drivers for the wireless card, this won't be an issue on a new computer. (incidentally most desktops don't have wireless as standard, so make sure you specify you want wireless)

Macs are great, but they are different to using a windows computer, and none of your current software would work on a mac.

My experience of wireless networking (in fact all networking) under Windows 7, is that it's one of the things that Microsoft finally got right. It practically does everything for you.

I concur, Windows 7 is extremely wi-fi friendly, and in terms of desktop hardware, it's very cheap to make a desktop wi-fi enabled. Apples are nice machines and their software is good, but there's no basis for concern over Win7 having wi-fi connection problems, that's totally bogus.
