Apple's Bonjour Available for Windows

inblosam writes "Apple's Bonjour ('also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks') is now available for Windows! A Bonjour icon shows up in Internet Explorer to enable Bonjour browsing, along with the Bonjour Printer Wizard. Developers can download the Bonjour SDK. The benefits would appear to be for Apple customers (more Bonjouring with more networks) and to gain Apple switchers by enticing Windows customers."

    Why, in this day and age, is it necessary to 'restart' the whole friggin machine?

    Is there a multi-user version of windows yet? Why do I have to log out as 'user' before I can log on as 'administrator'?

    Maybe OT but not 'troll' or 'flamebait'. I'd really like some response from folks who know how windows works, inside.

    nazi execrable.

    no contest. these phonIE fauxking payper liesense softwar gangster stock markup FraUD life0cidal foulcurrs are no match for the creators' newclear powered planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.

    there are none so blind...?

    yet another day in paradise on tap?

    or is it ground hog day, again? many of US are obviously not interested in how we appear (which is whoreabull) from the other side of the 'lens', or even from across the oceans.

    vote with (what's left in) yOUR wallet. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi life0cidal glowbull warmongering execrable.

    we still haven't read (here) about the 2/3'rds of you who are investigating/pursuing a spirit/conscience re-awakening, in amongst the 'stuff that matters'? another big surprise?

    some of US should consider ourselves very fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.

    it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc....

    as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis.

    concern about the course of events that will occur should the corepirate nazi life0cidal execrable fail to be intervened upon is in order.

    'do not be dismayed' (also from the manual). however, it's ok/recommended, to not attempt to live under/accept, fauxking nazi felon greed/fear/ego based pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking hypenosys.

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/us, as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile, will not be available.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?

    Bonjour works on small disconnected networks. Put it into a large managed network and you have a major disaster.

    There was a reason that Apple's ZeroConfig was REJECTED for the UPnP specification!
