not true. used to be true, but apple adapted ... they weren't the 800# gorilla in the room, so they had to. you can put a mac in an ad domain as a full member, you can share files and printers (both ways), talk tcp/ip to your heart's content, ...
plus: ms doesn't want it to be too difficult for macs to play in their world--they are in contract with apple to ensure this sort of compatability (not just with networking, but with applications as well ... ).
"... and another thing about you democrats ... you all believe in science!" -- denny crane
Apple managed to make it work but Mac users are still second-class citizens on a MS network. I have both Macs and Windows on my home network; I had to install Apple's Bonjour software (essentially, it's old AppleTalk protocols adapted to TCP/IP) on the Windows box out in the shack in order to get it to see my laser printer.
That agreement expired in 2000.plus: ms doesn't want it to be too difficult for macs to play in their world--they are in contract with apple to ensure this sort of compatability (not just with networking, but with applications as well ... ).
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Things are much better than they once were, but it is still more difficult than it should be to get a Mac to talk to a Windows based network.
Microsoft doesn't exactly go out of their way to make it any easier. But again, this isn't anything new; they've always made it difficult for other OS's to talk to their OS's. Even though they effectively swiped the roots of Active Directory from NDS -- and Banyan.
All I can tell you is this: 10 years ago, even 15 years ago, all I had to do was install the appropriate client software on the Mac, OS/2, or Windows machine, and I could have it talking to my Netware server (let alone being able to load the DOS drivers from floppy!). Can you say the same thing today about a Mac, OS/2 (if you can find one), or Linux machine trying to talk to a Windows 2003 server?
