The ideal WiFi-tool for frequent travellers and mobile professionals, Easy WiFi Radar will connect to open hotspots automatically and shows you exactly what it is doing in a cool animated radar screen. Access points are represented as green, yellow or red dots. It plays a sound and opens your webbrowser as soons as it succesfully finds a free connection.

I used this program in XP and it worked great, however I now have a new computer with Windows 7 and it won't even start. Unless they come out with a Win7 version, don't bother. If not for this negative I'd have given it an overall rating of 8.
In XP it does a good job of finding multiple networks within range, and connecting, although the interface is just eye candy. It did do a better job at times than the Windows wireless utility and it looks pretty cool, but other than that, it's unnessary, IMO.
Pros
Cool looking and SOMETIMES works better than Windows XP networking utility.
