Every Vista computer can have its own domain name

Head Boy · 11-14-2006, 01:01 PM

With Microsoft having released Windows Vista to manufacturing, the computing industry is now busy preparing for the first major Windows desktop operating system upgrade in more than five years. One of the new features of Vista that hasn't had much attention is Microsoft's new "Computer Name" feature, which extends Windows XP's Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP) service. Simply put, Computer Name allows users to identify their machine by a unique name, rather than an IP address, from anywhere on the planet.

Will they be accessible through a browser? .vista domains? Or maybe they're .msn?

PNRP works by extending IPv6, the new standard for identifying computers and devices on the Internet. The old IPv4 standard, identifiable by the series of four integers between 0 and 255, was designed when the Internet was much smaller, and its maximum 4.3 billion addressable devices is starting to look somewhat cramped in the modern era. IPv6 allows up to 3.4 x 1038 unique addresses, which should be enough until the nanobots take over the world and turn everything into a smooth grey slurry.

So you'll be able to register a standard domain name, and then get it to resolve to your home computer. I've already grabbed my name as a .com.

Oh, still using the old system. It just occurred to me that this thing once established would allow microsoft to ust add their own windows specific tlds at will within their system.

My name .com is owned by some muckamuck CEO of a security company who has it parked since the nineties.
