Not exactly. Tiger and Leopard still support the AppleTalk protocol
stack for two applications: printing and name binding (service
discovery). Specifically, EtherTalk and all higher layer protocols up to
and including PAP - Printer Access Protocol and NBP - Name Binding
Protocol.

They don't support AFP (Apple File Protocol) over AppleTalk. I don't
know whether they retained support for other high-level AppleTalk
protocols, such as ADSP (Data Stream) and ASP (Session) - unlikely. PAP
only requires the slightly lower level ATP (Transaction).

As far as I know, Win2K server still supports AFP and PAP.
So, maybe MS has better support for Apple protocols than Apple does?
