If you're using NetBIOS at all, I strongly recommend WINS.
Getting rid of NetBIOS sometimes proves problematic. Aside from
vestigial dependencies in some software, it's also what drives the
browse list ("Network Neighborhood" or whatever it's called this
year).
But yah, if you can shut off NetBIOS, that's a beautiful thing, and
then you don't need WINS.
