Galactic and extragalactic astronomers often mean different things by “halo” the former mean the spheroidal distribution of metal poor stars around the Milky Way (MW), the latter mean the massive, dark component providing the large dynamically inferred mass in and around galaxies. This review will focus on massive, dark halos. Despite the title of this conference, we cannot restrict our attention to the shape of the MW halo: very little would be to say. We must turn to cosmological simulations and to observations of external disk galaxies in the hope of deriving a representative picture.
