Yet another question in my possible switch from Windows....
I'd be buying a notebook (probably PowerBook) which would be used predominantly at home. However, there are instances at both home and the office that I would need to connect to Windows PCs:
At home, we have a network (no domain, just a workgroup) set up through a router..curently with one Windows XP PC and one Windows 2000 PC - and the obvious possiblity of the Mac being added.
At work, I would need to connect to the other PCs and Windows servers (2000 server, SQL, Exchange and Small Business Server).
I was hoping to find information on what to expect should I abandon my Dell laptop for a Mac (Would they talk natively, or would I need to add a program like Samba, etc).
Is there a quick answer to this, or somewhere I should head to find out more information on this?
Thanks.
