Discontinued Support for IP over 1394
Updated: December 8, 2004

In future versions of the Windows operating systems, Microsoft plans to
discontinue support for IP over 1394 (that is, TCP/IP over IEEE 1394).
Currently, this capability is supported in Microsoft Windows Server 2003,
Windows XP, and Windows Me. Microsoft has not identified any customer
dependency on this capability. If you are an IHV or OEM who has a business
dependency on this capability, please provide feedback to
netdd@microsoft.com.

"M$ has no identified any customer dependency on this capability" !!!!?????
How can they determined that!? We used that technology and is very useful
(sure, for very specific situation)
