XP Native support for NetBIOS?!?

in Network+
Mike claims on page 454 of the Net+ exam guide third edition that: "The latest versions of Windows-2000 and XP-have dumped native support for WINS..." However, I thought that to browse computers in My Network Places required NetBIOS. So is he saying that XP has dumped native support for WINS and NetBIOS or just WINS. And if so then what happens if I tell my DHCP server to hand out a WINS server address? Will my XP machine refuse to use it?
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
