Hi Marc, as Jeremy said 'Yes. But me no buts', so, instead of this:

+Acting as an Active Directory Domain Controller is one of the enhancements,
+included in Samba 4.0 and later. But 4.0 was just the next release
+after the 3.6 series and contained all features of the previous ones -
+including the NT4-style (classic) domain support. This means you can
+update a Samba 3.x NT4-style PDC to 4.x, like you've updated in the
+past (e. g. from 3.4.x to 3.5.x). You won't have to move your NT4-style
+domain to an Active Directory!

How about this:

+Acting as an Active Directory Domain Controller is just one of the
+enhancements included in Samba 4.0 and later. Version 4.0 was just the
+next release after the 3.6 series and contains all the features of the 
previous
+ones - including the NT4-style (classic) domain support. This means you can
+update a Samba 3.x NT4-style PDC to 4.x, just as you've updated in the
+past (e. g. from 3.4.x to 3.5.x). You don't have to move your NT4-style
+domain to an Active Directory!

You shouldn't really start a sentence with 'But' or 'And'.
