I know that adhoc networking is nothing new.  What Vista does is 
simplifies and automates the process with a "just make it work" 
attitude.  I agree that the prices are crazy, and even after buying a 
lower grade version, if you decide to "upgrade" which they push madly 
everywhere you read, you're just buying the new version at full 
price, so they're basically telling you to buy each version at full 
price until you find the one that does everything you need.  They 
even remove features from each program of theirs with messages like 
"you can't do that from this version of Vista, please 
upgrade".  Nothing new, either.  Nothing is new about anything I've 
been talking about.  I was just bragging a bit about how I finally 
got my system and network to do what I wanted it to do.

Now if I can add my coffee maker to my network, I'll have more to 
talk about as well.  :)
