I prefer inSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider) :)

inssider although a pretty interface, requires .net to run and needs to be installed, so its not really a good choice for portability

True, but I usually use my laptop when checking wireless LAN's :)

Is this compatible with Vista?

I usually use Nirsoft WirelessNetView, (always portable)
