Full text search with MSQL 2005

Does MSQL 2005 Full-Text-Search engine make use of Microsoft Search Service like the previous version? (MSQL2000)

If yes, where there any improvements in performance? Is MSQL 2005 Full-Text-Search recommended AND ready for large scale / enterprise systems with lots of traffic? If yes, how is the performance?

I've been doing some research, but I can't find any good articles on it... if you know of any please add them to the thread! :)

Thank you very much!

Although this is for SQL Server 2000, the information still holds:
