When that paper was written, it was actually relatively accurate. The thing I enjoyed most about it was the fact that we now had a very nicely packaged 'todo' list. As JHT points out, we are pretty well finished on getting that TODO list done! Other items on the list came down to 'too much choice v MS picks it for you', and still others picked out things that really were just plain silly - like the different AC v LT quotas (that mess was insane!). Finally, there is one point that they make well: If you are a vendor, and you chose Samba, you have the costs of integrating it into your environment - but they neglect to mention that you also have the opportunity to integrate it into your environment - not integrate your environment into it! (This is what makes a Samba NAS more than a rack-mounted Windows install IMHO).
