In fairness, Microsoft are merely implementing RFC1542:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1542.html (section 3.1.1)
However, they should have a fallback method for DHCP servers that do not
support the broadcast flag, which is a comparatively new feature.
Actually they /do/, but it should be automatic, not something which
requires users to edit the registry.
