New Intel Wireless Chipset

Intel plans to build a chipset that allows any desktop computer to act as a wireless access point.

This is good news but it seems to me that is misses the point entirely.
If I have 3 computers in my home (ok I have more but I am not normal) my need for an access point is not as great as my need for a wireless nic.

What I would like to see is built in wireless the same way most new computers have ethernet ports built in today. Since this is pretty much what they have done to laptops with their centrino series I expect be will see it in all computers before too long.

This is not good news for Cisco, Netgear and the others who now make money selling these products as add ons.
