Netbios is the sunrpc of Windows :). Windows machines are subject to a
number of netbios vulnerabilities. Probing for netbios is also a good way
to figure out if you are a Windows or Unix server, and if the systems
administrator has a clue or doesn't (only a clueless sysadmin would open
netbios to the public on a windows box).
