    Its to enable easy networking and printing with mixed mac and pc networks. Its good if you have itunes on more than one computer. you can also share music with a friends computer without worrying about complicated ip addresses etc
  • itunes or safari browser / puts it in, which is it ?

    "Bonjour" is Apple's software which links Apple applications over a internal network, it's designed to auto-configure so it basicaly by-passes local PC firewalls (Used for media and printer sharing on Macs and Windows.)
