Windows 8 can join to Samba3 domain?

[Zombie Ryushu]

I see no reason Windows 8 couldn't support Samba 3.6 to the exclusion of 
NT Domains. They made modifications to enhance Samba 3.4, and 3.5's 
technology to a level NT4 could never manage. Samba 3.5 domains are NT 
Domains in name only. They have achieved a level of functionality NT 
Domains never could. Windows 7 can't join a real NT Domain. It can join 
a Samba 3 domain.
