The NBNS protocol was brought into disrepute by Microsoft: it earned a bad name for being ' chatty ', swamping networks with dynamic registration traffic on multiple protocols ( IPX / SPX, NBF and TCP / IP ) as people badly misconfigured their machines and their networks.

The group was disbanded in January 2003 after other wireless networks became accessible to home users and Microsoft began including support for them in its Windows operating systems.

VMware Workstation, Server, and ESX take a more optimized path to running target operating systems on the host than emulators ( such as Bochs ) which simulate the function of each CPU instruction on the target machine one-by-one, or dynamic recompilation which compiles blocks of machine-instructions the first time they execute, and then uses the translated code directly when the code runs subsequently ( Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac OS X takes this approach.

Before Microsoft issued official instructions on removing the WGA Notifier ( a desktop application which resides in the notification area and periodically displays messages, reminding users to authenticate their operating system ), users simply had to remove 2 files in order to get rid of the software from their system ( four files: one executable and one dynamic link library in C:
