This screenshot represents a pamphlet that is in circulation in American McDonald’s restaurants. It is a guide on how to access their free Wi-Fi service. Before you call this a Mac win – like many Apple fan boys must have today, McDonald's forgot to mention Windows 7. Was that deliberate, or is configuring Windows 7 so easy that no guide is needed or is the guide outdated?
If we zoom into the Mac instructions, it says:
- Click on the airport icons and select turn AirPort on.
- Select McDonald’s Free Wi-Fi from the list of available wireless networks
- Open your internet browser and you will reach the McDonald’s Free Wi-Fi landing page.
Windows 7 users were not included in the pamphlet, but here is just how easy it is to set up in Windows 7.
- Click on the Wi-Fi Icon in the notification area
- Select McDonald’s free Wi-Fi from the list (Note: I am not at McDonald’s at the moment but this very procedure applies.)
- Open your internet browser and you will reach the McDonald’s Free Wi-Fi landing page.
It is easy for Windows 7 users to access wireless networks. So what do you think? Was McDonald’s weighing into a Mac vs. PC debate, or is this an outdated pamphlet (probably before Windows 7 was released) or is Windows 7 so easy to set up that it requires no instruction?
Let’s hear your thoughts!
