Apple Releases Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3
MacDailyNews is reporting that Apple has released Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3. From the article: "Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers."
I didn't know anyone still used Windows 1.0
I've already said Bonjour to Windows...
If you disagree with me on social issues, then it's pretty clear that you are a narrow-minded bigot.
Gratified as I am that my little rant above got modded up to +3 Informative, I don't really think it represents the best of the Mac community. The truth is, we Mac users feel deep pity for those to whom Rendezvous/Bonjour (ZeroConf by any other name) seems like some kind of magical future technology. No one deserves to be trapped in the configuration hell that is Windows or Linux. Even worse is that you people have come to expect such utter user-unfriendliness, and so you sneer at those whose work would improve your lives. You are the most pathetic of them all, and we Mac users shed a collective tear in sympathy for you.
Therefore, please mod my above comment down to troll where it belongs.
And frankly, the windows equivalent is pretty easy. Just type "\\servername\printername" and the print queue is opened & the drivers are installed for you from the print server if you don't have them. You can quietly put it in the login script with "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /c\\servername /n\\servername\printername /q". You can also set the default printer with the /y switch.
Yes, that's much easier than choosing the printer you want from a list of those available to you.
So the difference with Windows is that it only installs a light form of spyware?

And it works.
But only 30 hours per week.
I keed, I keed...
