    I think he means support for the DS Wifi connector. I can't imagine an OS not supporting Wifi at all.

    Yeah, exactly.

    I have that white cable and the USB device that allow you to connect a DS via Wi-Fi, but I noticed Nintendo didn't make the Wi-Fi connection software compatible with Windows 7 yet, which bothers me.

    Even with a wireless router that I'm getting internet from right now (thankfully without the need of a broadband connection like what was required previously for me to connect to the internet), I'm crossing my fingers Nintendo will release a Windows 7 compatible Wi-Fi connection thing for PC.

    The lack of support for the WiFi Connector was the reason why I got Windows 7 Professional. Now I can use its XP mode to actually make the Connector work.

    Hmm, I noticed I was able to get into the setup process for the connector after downloading the latest version of the software from Nintendo and having it run with compatibility for Windows XP, but near the end, just when it's almost installed, it tells me to connect the USB cable, but when I click on OK, it gives me an application error, and doesn't successfully install.
