Am I understanding this correctly...in that SAMBA will not work 
with future versions of Windows?  The ONLY way to access files 
on a Windows fileserver will be from a Windows client?

If so...WOW!  Microsoft is basically saying, "No more heterogenous
environments" (AFA network filesystems go).  I think that is a 
really BIG mistake.

Of course, the same thing is gonna be true with .NET.  The ONLY 
way to access .NET services will be from IE.

Cheerio!
