Re: iTunes 5.0 loads Bonjour Service
Bonjour is Apple's brand-name for zero-config IP. It's used by iTunes for music sharing (on your local network). It's not spyware. More info here:
»www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/
Here's the Windows-specific excerpt:
Zero Configuration, Zero Hassles, Anywhere
Now anyone using a Windows PC can take advantage of the effortlessness of Bonjour for free. The Bonjour Setup Wizard makes setting up a printer under Windows as easy as Mac OS X (we can’t make it as beautiful, unfortunately). Bonjour for Windows includes a plug-in for Internet Explorer, so you can setup a Bonjour-enabled device without knowing its IP address. You can even print to printers connected over USB to Airport Extreme Base Station or Airport Express. If you’re an Open Source enthusiast, you will be able to download the Bonjour source code to create software for virtually any platform. |
