edit to add:  Saw previous response, and yes, *if* you need to maintain a
browse list, you need at least one browser service running per LAN
segment/subnet

for clarification, the broswer service maintains the 'browse list', and the
machine *chosen* as 'master browser' by autonomous election is supposed to
work based on heirarchy of OS version and then performance response...  the
browser service on a client has NOTHING to do with a client's ability to
access the browse list.  
 
And VLAN-ing should have no bearing on needing or not needing the browse
list.

Thanks for all the replies, 

 

This would go without saying that Windows 2000 and later *servers* that are
domain members can get away with the browser service being off as well, yes?
Does VLAN-ing have any effect here?

You using AD clients on these boxen ?  As long as they don't need the old
WINS/NT4 domain logins and Netbios objects you're good, and I don't think
that GPO has *any* effect on them
