IIRC microsoft released a paper announcing they were obsoleting NTLM in
favour of kerberos/negotiate starting from Vista. The underlying OS may
not be capable of NTLM in places.

Of course, the browser should still know it. Whether that works depends
on which NTLM helper is being used. The squid bundled "ntlm_auth" helper
appears useless after WinXP. Samba one of same name keeps working fine.
