If you'd written the first SMB server for Unix (no, not Samba), you 
wouldn't confuse them. I'm talking about an SMB server with full file 
and print sharing written by Locus Computing Corp. for AT&T in the mid 
Eighties. We even made extensions to the SMB protocol for remote 
printer sharing administration and remote execution on the Unix host.

To bad that software seems to have disappeared from the face of the 
Earth. It was just about the best project I ever worked on in the 
corporate world.
