In response to cyberholz: There are several network diagnostic tools (that are written for specific circumstances and will not be used by your typical user) that are written only for Windows. These include the 3Com Wireless...

While I am somewhat unfamiliar with the programs you listed (I have used them, but as my field is network design, not extensively), I have to say that my vote - at this point - may well be for the Macintosh computer. I don't say this...

Hallo! For my shiny new Powerbook: Antivirus: None, though I may change this in a year or two if Mac OS keeps growing the way it is. Firewall: Linksys WRT54G hardware firewall with NAT Browser: Safari 2.0 Instant Messenger...
