Nothing has changed between versions.  There's one thing you need to 
check, though.  In /Applications -> Utilities -> Directory Access, 
authenticate, select the SMB option, and make sure you're on the same 
workgroup as the rest of the machines.  Without this setting being made 
Windows (XP especially) will reject your attempts at connection, and 
you won't be able to see shared printers either.  Also, and I'm sure 
this is redundant, make sure you have Windows Sharing turned on in the 
Sharing pane of the System Preferences.  Unchecking that box, and 
rechecking it, restarts the Samba daemons also.
