Samba vs. NetAppliance

[Sanborn, Ed]

Hi,

   I'm debating purchasing a NetAppliance fileserver that does native CIFS.
Below is a URL
to a NetAppliance authored paper regarding performance.  One of the sections
compares
NFS to CIFS and talks about Samba.  Can anyone dispute any of this?  Is
there any reason
besides price that I should stick with Samba?
