I'm torn.
As much as I despise Microsoft, I am forced (at work) to touch quite a few Windows domains. This means I either have to disable avahi on my laptop and remove mdns from nsswitch, or not be able to resolve computers on almost every client network we support.

Even microsoft suggests in their documentation to use .local for AD/DNS integration.

How hard would it be to get everyone on board with using something like .auto for avahi?
I'm guessing there are quite a few admin's out there with windows domains named similarly that will have these issues.
