If you install samba the filesystem doesn't matter. Your windows pc asks
samba something, samba looks it up and replies. Your windows pc has no
direct access to the disk. So you could use fat32, ntfs, ext2, ext3,
reiser3, reiser4, jfs, xfs or something else.

Installing fat32 to share between linux and windows is only needed if
you install both on the same pc, for a portable disk or usb key that
gets connected to both OS's or something like that. And even then you
can use ntfs since linux can use it (maybe need a kernel compile if not
included by default) or ext as there are windows drivers fot it.
