Two points:

1. The FAQ's warn about using the easy way out (the /home share) since
windows maintains a link to that share, even when the user logs out.
2. The [profile] share (which I guess you are using) allows all users to
browse all other users home directories. Not necessarily dangerous, but
the is always a nosy one.
