No, I won't be criticising a platform here. Heaven knows Windows has tons of issues with wireless networking. I'm currently having trouble with a user who bought a MacBook Pro. I set up a WRT54GL in their house, put Tomato on it and boosted the signal a little bit. Here's the problem:

When she sets her laptop up in her kitchen (which is right below the router) she isn't shown her network. She is, however, shown at least 10 other networks with 25% signal strength at most. If I take the laptop upstairs to their office, it sees their network, and I can then carry the laptop downstairs and it will hold the connection. I was also perfectly able to access the network from my own laptop.

Why on earth is it not showing her her own network? This almost seems like the opposite of Windows' obnoxious wireless zero config
