Samba is a free, open-source implementation of the Microsoft Server

Yes, it allows these operating systems to access Windows shared

need to use it on Windows clients.
I suspect they are confused and are actually talking about actual SMB /
SMB2/ SMB3 on a purely Windows network in which case recent discussions
of same on this list would apply.
