Windows Want to be able to access your machine anytime, anywhere? Can't be bothered purchasing a domain name and configuring Dynamic DNS? Microsoft has a solution: the 'Windows Internet Computer Name' - a unique domain name for your computer. There is one small catch though: you have to be using the next-generation networking protocol IPv6 which, although thoroughly integrated into Windows Vista, isn't supported by most home routers yet.

Well, people have been saying MS are copying OSX and linux DEs feature for feature ;)

I'm not sure I like how it works though - how does the registration work? What's to stop someone using my email address for a PC "domain name"?
