I don't think you need to learn about Windoze at all to use Samba. Now I
must admit that I do have a bit of Windoze background... But I found
Samba to be quite easy to setup in exclusively non-Windows environments
too. I see Samba no longer as a Unix/Windows interoperability tool, but
as a networking solution in it's own right.
It does offer the bonus of Windows compatability though. If someone
would come along with a Windows laptop, they would just need to plug it
into the LAN network, type in a password and they will be happy.
For me, Samba is about convenience.
