No, Samba does not supply a windows client - we stick to the server and posix client stuff only (plus smbfs etc). In thoery, such a client can be written - it's just an installable filesystem essentially, in the same way as Novell maintians their client, but there isn't much interest in doing so. One of the main benifits of Samba is that by and large we don't require client modifications to function. (and where we do, like the WinXP sign or seal issue, we are working to correct that and fall back in line with MS).
