Mixing Linux & Windows Server in a SMB
-
I don't think they are questioning Samba, per se, but the concept that Samba works like Microsoft does.
Right, wrong, or indifferent, people think the gold standard is what Microsoft presents.

And that's something we need to fix conceptually. Like @dashrender and I were discussing offline... it's like Intel and AMD.
At the end of the day, AMD made the best ever Intel IA32 processors. And then Intel ended up making the best AMD64 processors. They both made the best of the competitor's technology.
The idea that "original" is related to "better" doesn't work in general and especially not in IT. Samba, for most of its history, has been on top. And AD itself is a copy of "Linux originals" if you look at it that way. So you can think of AD as being the copy if you want.
