Yeah but, with Cygwin and Samba, I don't think you're actually using
"synced" accounts.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but sure you can terminal
in and administer *nix servers, but if your windows account and unix
accounts aren't synced in this setup.

Oh sure.  There isn't anything you can't do with Cygwin/Samba.  I know
plenty of people who administer there Unix servers from a windows
workstation via cygwin.  I myself prefer to work in Unix/Linux though,
so I use SSH/Samba to connect to Windows... well, what few Windows
servers I have left anyway.
