Explanation (?):
The castle service is new to Windows Longhorn and I am not sure what it does, but it seems to be related to Universal Plug and Play. Please email me if you have any information on it. I would suggest disabling it though because it seems to be some type of network discovery service and that could be a security risk.

"A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream. And I, to whom so great a vision was given in my youth, you see me now a pitiful old man who has done nothing, for the nations hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead." --Nicholas Black Elk of the Oglala Sioux
