You know, I wish I had a link or something to this information. I heard it
at the Microsoft Security Summit, a couple of months ago. I might just be
talking out of my ass again :).

I think Bob Ammerman had it right... SHARING to 4 other windows machines
(not just "connecting"). Also, it's limited to the Microsoft networking
Client, not just any IP host.

If I can find a solid reference to this info, I'll post a link.
