PNRP and Linux

Anyone know anything about this PNRP thing where Microsoft Vista machines will have their own “domain name” without registering with DNS? In particular, does it use some MS-specific stuff that’ll stop anyone else using it? I’ve read the spec but I don’t really understand it…

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNRP

  2. No sign of a RFC number and patent encumbered. Looks like a Microsoft attempt to establish a standard by themselves.

  3. Darn. It looks like a semi-cool idea…
