Not if you want browsing to work across routers (e.g.,
without broadcasts.)

WINS is a practical requirement for browsing across
routers.

WINS is NOT a bad thing -- it can even reduce broadcasts
on your network and make them more efficient.

Even Windows 2003 Network frequently require WINS
server(s) if you have routers (and VPN may constitute
a router if it is not just client->server, but rather
router<->router)
