I'm using the hotel's wireless network to join internet and will join the internet this way in the upcoming days. Would joining un-secure networks with standard user account reduce risk?
Also, be careful what you send over that network...don't, for example, check your eMail (unless you know for a fact that you're using SSL) or log into any sites that don't encrypt passwords (look for the lock icon.) Anybody could be listening.
Same risk as with a PC, unencrypted Wifi is just as easy to exploited on either OS, but I doubt anyone is hanging out at a hotel trying to mess with people.
