 From MacMinute:

Apple releases Rendezvous for Windows
June 30 - 11:38 EDT   Apple has released a preview version of its 
Rendezvous technology for Windows 2000 and XP. Rendezvous (also known 
as zero-configuration networking), enables automatic discovery of 
computers, devices, and services on IP networks. "This preview release 
includes full link-local support, allowing Windows machines to discover 
advertised HTTP and FTP servers using Internet Explorer. It also 
includes a printer setup wizard which allows Windows machines to print 
to Rendezvous networked printers, including USB shared printers 
connected to the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Base Stations. 
With the included Rendezvous SDK, Windows and Java developers can begin 
the process of adding Rendezvous service discovery to their 
applications." Apple has also posted information on Rendezvous for 
Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, and Java Clients.
