Those of us on a Mac have been fortunate enough to enjoy Apple's Zero-config technology
Rendez-Vous Bonjour for years, however people are often surprised to know it's available for Windows too as a download from Apple.com. Now, there's probably some of you wondering what on earth Bonjour is as, at least in our experience, it's little known by Windows users. Thankfully, Apple answers that question on their downloads page: "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."
Yesterday saw the release of
Bonjour 1.0.4 for Windows, allowing Windows Vista (and of course XP and 2000/20003) users to enjoy the hassle-free networking and printer sharing that Bonjour offers. There's even a 64-bit version for Windows Vista available too, it that's your OS of choice.

So I've instaled this. Now what? Can I easily mount a Mac disk from Windows?
