The day Palladium is used by every (chip, OS, and Application) vendor is the day my FreeBSD system has a Network Neighborhood icon and sends 1,000 NetBios Broadcasts every few minutes.
I believe you can enable this feature with a free download...
WINS will no longer needs to query DNS servers as WINS will be the only "standard" throughout the internet. Because of this we will all run some flavor of NetBios (Over TCP/IP, and for the Novell folks over SPX/IPX) or NetBui.
You can get around WINS if you enable forwarding of undirected broadcasts to all interfaces btw Steve
Let's not forget, that as strong as Microsoft looks or pretends to be, they did not build the NET (their wanna-be contributions or "replacements" are at times very humorous or outright senseless).

It makes no differencewhatyou use at home, if that machine can't talk to the rest of the world.1. There will be CPU vendors that won't require Palladium-signed code 2. There will be OSes that won't require Palladium-signed code 3. There will be applications that won't require Palladium-signed code 4. There will be IETF protocols that won't require Palladium-signed code 5. The Net will not require Palladium-signed code and most importantly: 6. This article is completely incorrect on how Palladium will work. S
