They do, though this looks a little like a beat up.
For XP I'd say:
1. Double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon in the Tray.
2. Select McDonald's FREE WiFi from the list of available wireless networks
(fig. y).
3. Open your browser blah blah.
Really not so different from the OS X instructions.
The Windows instructions in the example seem to assume that you really want to
fiddle with a bunch of obscure settings and that you're determined to plough
through menus even if there's a much simpler way. The OS X instructions assume
that you just want a wifi connection.
