Very Cool: Vista detects personal Routers

I'm sorry if this has already been blogged the heck out of but this feature way cool: when connecting Windows Vista to a new network behind a personal firewall router (DLink or Linksys) - Vista automatically detects this device!



Double click on that new little network icon and up comes the Network window showing you the Network device which in my case is my personal DLink router.



I hope DLink and other network device companies take advantage of this new feature in Windows. They could write little Control Panel programs that tap directly into this feature and allow you to configure the router (or any other device) within the network properties in Windows. Maybe by adding a new tab or something? Maybe if they wanted to be REALLY cool, they could take advantage of the new UAP features and sync up the administrator's password on the Windows PC with the Router itself permitting ONLY the administrator of the main home PC to make any changes to the Router. Maybe I'm just plain crazy. more...
