Well. SMB is a Microsoft's proprietary protocol. Of course, the windows implementation will be better.

It works. and it is impressive work what they've done, but let's face it, it is not even close to being as ergonomically and plug and play as it is on a windows only environment. It is a shame that microsoft still haven't truly make SMB an open protocol.

That was done because the EU demanded it (I think as an outcome of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Commission)

Linux client -> Windows server has been less so

Agreed, and many thanks to the developers.

My pain is browsing over VPN is extremely slow. Probably my fault as getting Desktop (Debian) happy with all the certificates is painful.
