Microsoft is expected to present its take next week on "soft Wi-Fi," a new
idea in wireless networking for homes and offices. 

The software giant will show off some details of how to lighten the number of
tasks routinely given to a Wi-Fi radio, the most expensive of several pieces
of Wi-Fi equipment. 

The tasks are reassigned to either the modem that lets laptops access a Wi-Fi
network, or to the laptop itself. Soft Wi-Fi is expected to lower the radio's
price tag.
