Hehehe...
The old Windows 98 = Macintosh 84 diatribe! Bring it on!
Bonjour/Rendezvous/ZeroConfig on the Mac is good but still have to delve
into CUPS to see a supported HP laser and then configure it. And also it
doesn't do the best of connecting to a Newton ;-)
Does Vista likewise support ZeroConfig or more a proprietary solution?

Gee, sounds like OSX
Although everyone is making out Vista is such a bad upgrade, I can say
from
some of what I've seen, it's ability to find a network printer,
install it
and it works, is fantastic. With Win 95, 98 & XP one has to load special
Network print drivers(especially with older models - I believe some
manufacturesrs now make this easier too), then load the printer
drivers then
configure and it works. With Vista home premium, click a button, it
finds
the network printer, installed it and test copy printed perfectly.
What use
to take quite a while (and most people had to get IT people to
install) is
now so easy to install - just a mouseclick and seconds later - yes
seconds
later - hey Presto it works. I have a network printer at work.
Whenever I
add in a new PC, or replaced one, it takes me some time to install all
this
on the PC.
