Windows is boring and to easy, plus if there was an easy install for Ubuntu on a samba server then more would adopt it (which is in 7.10), but I think people will get scared off by the commandline versions as they wont understand that it can be administered remotely.

It's aimed at the knowledgeable enthusiast market. That's kinda what I meant I saw Ubuntu as a potential replacement for (perhaps with a bit of configuration etc).
