WP7 uses PC's network connection

Something really cool on WP7 I discovered today - it may already have been public knowledge for others but I really find it so so cool in order to go around an already documented flaw in that WP7 does not connect to WIFI using static IP Addresses.

The thing I just discovered is that when the phone is connected to your PC/Laptop, the apps that require network data access actually use your PC's network connectivity. Which I find really awesome. So you could easily configure your laptop to use WIFI via a static IP address and then connect your phone to it - and bombs away!

Still waiting for the 'updating' update....
