Recent Bind versions do.

Wins and wins-r had nothing to do with DNS. I don't see any reference to
these in the RFC. Samba supports both.

So ? As far as I know, it isn't oficially allowed.

Most people at M$ are a bunch of idiots that like to brag on how good
their products are. The only thing their good at is ripping of standards,
give those a little M$ tweak, and make an open standard propretary.
Nice example is the Kerberos standard.
I would just wish they spend time making their products better.
