The EULA for XP Home explicitly states a maximum of five (5) users to
connect for file/print sharing services. XP Professional is ten (10).
This is software independent. Installing a Windows version of Samba (if
one exists now or in the future) would not provide you a legal way
around this limit even if it does provide a technical one.
Bottom line is that legal validity notwithstanding, you can't use Samba
as a bypass for these limits.

I take it that you don't want to learn UNIX, and don't want to pay for
Microsoft Windows Server Client Access Licenses? :-) Read your EULA for
Windows XP; it may specifically prohibit this sort of implementation. I
don't know, I've never read it. I just clicked "I Accept."
This would necessitate turning off the "server" service in Windows,
otherwise it would conflict with Samba.
