Actually, there is a 2nd reason.  Linux with Samba simply does not have the 
access control mechanisms that NT does, and this limits the granularity of
access.  For some businesses (like ours), this is a show stopper.  Linux ACL
support is being worked on, but it's not ready for prime time.

Linux is not the answer to every problem.  It's getting better, but for some
tasks, Windows is still superior.
