Network Service Account

Quoting from white paper "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Physical Database
Storage Design" by Kathy Lu and Lewis Bruck published June 2006 and
available for download at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/library/planning.mspx:

"By default, if SQL Server is running under the Network Service account
(as strongly recommended), this permission [SE_MANAGE_VOLUME_NAME for
Instant File Initialization] is off."

Anyone have a reference to this "strong recommendation" for using the
Network Service account for SQL Server? It seems to contradict other
information available from Microsoft.
