I know a few thing about NETWORK SERVICE and the reasons it was introduced
as security context for many services starting with 2003 or XP versions.
However I couldn't find a good document to tell me about the differences
between the two accounts I mentioned in the Subject line: NETWORK and
NETWORK SERVICE.

Some of the UI can be confusing as to what is Network, just as
in some placed one sees Service for Local Service.
However, the Network which is the well-known SID S-1-5-2
is an "automatic group" for accounts that have logged on over
the network (in other words this SID is placed in the user token
when the login has been network type).
