There is no such thing as a 'Windows Network'.
A network is a network. Period.

FWIW, strange as it may seem to Linux folk, my XP boxes show "Microsoft
Windows Network" as the place where all boxes, including the Linux ones,
can be added as a "network Place".

I know. But the expression 'Network Place' doesn't make much sense, eighter.

Besides, that icon is the most unreliable places to search for information.
And I use Windows at work, every day. The only less reliable source of
information is their search engine. Which says a lot about Vista.

Anyway, all that still doesn't describe what there was to be found: the
machine (?), a share, what ?
