The ability to interact with a SAMBA 3 Domain.

That's gonna cost me. Although, MS swore up and down that they

wouldn't allow it in Windows 7 either, and then customers complained

in batchloads, so they added some registry hacks, and it works...also

in Win 8.x and related servers.

So maybe it will happen again.

I can just hear it now..."But! But! security... " and so forth.

There's security and security, and relative levels of threat, and

different strengths and weaknesses in different domains. One size

does not fit all. There are plenty of networks that don't need

Hyper-Paranoid 22nd. Century Super Security 5.0 (tm). SAMBA 3 still

works. Let ME decide what I need.

Still.. MS has caved before, and more than once. Maybe they will again.
