I went the "expensive" route and bought an Apple Wireless Extreme Base Station and the Wireless Express unit.

Base Station is located next to my modem and feeds directly into my PC. The express is connected into my XBOX but occasionally I'll plug a separate router into it to create a small network elsewhere in the house. Works great! Plus, I have the unit plugged into my sound system so I can play my iTunes library over the network on nice speakers.

I already had the Base Station so this only cost $100 -- bout the same as that lame MS wireless adapter. The Linksys solution is basically the same but cheaper and runs at 'G' speeds.

I recently found out about Apple's Remote software for iPod Touch and iPhone. This combined with the express/iTunes made me do a little happy dance. Awesome setup.
