Good question! From KB 197132 (see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=197132):
"Windows 2000 clients (workstations and member servers) and down-level
clients that have installed the distributed services client package use the
Active Directory to locate network resources. They do not require the
Windows NT Browser service."
Here's more from Windows Server 2003 documentation onling
(http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techr
ef/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/windowsServ/2003/all/techr
ef/en-us/w2k3tr_netbro_what.asp):
"In pure Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 environments that
are configured to use Active Directory, Active Directory itself can display
information about available network resources. In Windows 98 and Windows
Millennium Edition, however, Computer Browser service must be used for this
purpose. Computer Browser service is also still required in Windows Server
2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 for using applications such as My Network
Places and Windows Explorer, or the net view command."
