Windows 7 enhances the home and small network experience with a feature called Homegroup. Users can share data, such as media files, between computers in a home and use an online ID to authenticate between these computers. Users must explicitly link their Windows user account to an online ID in order for this functionality to work. Authentication is enabled by a new protocol called Public Key-based User to User or PKU2U.
