Netstumbler didnt show me the percent when i tried yesterday..

I found a yahoo widget one on download.com and its working great, but only shows the percent of the connection that your connected to, which is kindof irelevent, because if the signal was weak you wouldnt be able to connect to it.

It appears to be discontinued...

EDIT: Seems to have been replaced by this.

True say, the same thing for when you dont have an internet connection and you get an error message "For more support, vist www.support.microsoft.com" Yeah, too bad I DONT HAVE A CONNECTION. anways, did that wl wifi centre do the same thing as http://hotspot.msn.com/ but the wifi centre was offline? because if thats true, that wouldve been really cool. too bad.

Basically you could use it as a wifi scanner and if you were connected it'd show you local hot spots if you chose too if I remember correctly

I liked it, I thought all laptop owners should own it tbh, not so useful for desktops but still could be handy
