Vista: People Near Me

People Near Me (PNM) is a new capability of the Microsoft® Windows® Peer-to-Peer Networking platform for Windows Vista™ that allows applications to discover people connected to the local subnet and easily invite them into a collaborative activity. People Near Me provides a common user experience for sending and receiving invitations and application programming interfaces (APIs) for discovering people and publishing information.

Developers can use the People Near Me APIs to create scenarios like the following:
• Start a game with someone at the airport

During a layover at an airport terminal that supports wireless connectivity, you can advertise your interest in playing a popular computer game, discover others at the airport who are also interested in playing the game, and start a gaming session.
• Advertise your interests at an industry conference, and discover those of others

When attending an industry conference that supports wireless connectivity, you can use a PNM-enabled chat client to advertise your specific interests within that industry or search for others that have your interests.
• Use a collaboration application for file sharing or screen projection

Quickly and easily collaborate with other people in the conference room without entering computer names or Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.(more)
