What if you have a non-server version of Windows and wanted to use it
as a domain controller or do something more tricky than Windows allows
(especially XP Home's restrictive sharing options)?
Then it would make sense... Sort of.
Maybe, in a way, although I would argue that running a domain from XP
would be silly. If your network is big enough to need a domain, it is
big enough to warrant a server and a server OS to do it properly.
In any case:
"Samba server are installed on window so that the linux devices can talk to web
server
and window files system to do file transfer and all other things."
It sounds like he wants plain old file sharing, although I guess "all
other things" could include "running a domain" or "making cheesecake"
for all I know.
