 Missed that the first time around.

 You are quite correct.
 If the environment includes anything Microsoft, then Samba becomes
 mandatory.
 Not because it's a *good* way, but because Microsoft refuses to be
 compatible with anything not Microsoft, and actively seeks to break
 any compatibility anyone else creates.
 That's also why Samba is constantly changing. To unbreak whatever
 Microsoft most recently broke.

 Almost any *nix can work within either environment, but Microsoft will
 only work in a Microsoft environment.
 Such is the way of a monopoly. ( or one trying to be )
