Windows 2000 Name Services - What do you think?

ianna asks: "I read the description about the new win2k implementazion of name services at Lucent. It speaks about IETF compatibility, Dynamic DNS, SRV, LDAP and about removing NetBIOS and WINS (finaly!) I have the impression that this time Microsoft did things in the right way. Is it true? I'm an Opensource software advocate, but more that everything I always look for the best solution... This time I'm wondering: do we have something similar (or better) or shall we follow the Microsoft this time?" Interesting thought. Did Microsoft get it right this time, or is there a better solution?
