Very strange version numbers...
While it is nice that they mention Samba on their web page, it isn't clear
whether their integrated SMB client is Samba itself, or the SMB client used
in MacOS classic (from Microsoft's Xenix).

"Networking is also more compatible: Mac OS X version 10.1 now includes the
ability to connect to AFP servers over AppleTalk making it easier to
integrate Mac OS X into legacy networks with older AppleShare servers and
Windows NT servers. We've also added support to natively connect to Windows
NT, Windows 2000 and Unix-based SAMBA file servers with the built-in SMB
client. These servers appear right in the Finder like any other file server.
This makes Mac OS X fluent in all of today's network languages."
