What Is Bonjour?
Tuesday December 9, 2008
Bonjour is a network discovery technology developed by Apple, Inc. It allows computers and printers to automatically find and connect to each other's services using a new communication protocol, saving time and simplifying tasks such as file sharing and setting up printers.
Apple computers running newer versions of Mac OS X support Bonjour as a capability embedded in various network applications such as the Web browser (Safari), iTunes, and Back To My Mac. Additionally, Apple provides a Bonjour service for Microsoft Windows PCs as a free software download on apple.com. The technology is based on Internet Protocol (IP), allowing it to work with both wired and wireless networks.

I have Windows XP-2 Home Edition. Do I really need Bonjour? Why? The technical jargon has left my questions unanswered.
Your right…he never really did answer your question, “do I really need Bonjour”. Instead he gave you a bunch of technical useless jargon
