WPA2, the wireless security thing, is not available on Windows XP x64, and for the 32bit version, it is not a mandatory download. "We know Microsoft is serious about security and they don't appreciate the lack of it on Windows any more than we do, but it's things like this that make people wonder. How hard would it be to label this as a recommended download via Windows Update for all x86 users - and to roll out a version with x64 support before Windows XP x64 SP2 comes out, years from now?"

To me, this screams nothing but "We don't care", and it tells me that WPA means nothing to Microsoft but "Windows Product Activation".
And, even if Microsoft does "care" and is taking security seriously, "caring" is a far cry from implementing.
