Sorry, I didn't mean you were claiming it. I was referring to the earlier post about no MS products being any good.

Yeah, it's called SMB. Linux can use the SMB protocol using software called Samba.

Well, it's difficult to measure which is more stable, as Linux has so many different flavors, and it also depends a lot on the administrator(s).

Yeah. In Nautilus (the file browser in Gnome) you would do smb://192.168.0.125/c$

do you have to do any special setup, or would a fresh install be fine?
I think it depends on the distro. You just have to make sure Samba is installed, and then I think almost any file browser should be able to connect.
In Ubuntu it's probably installed by default, but if it's not you just have to open Synaptic (Ubuntu's graphical package manager) and install Samba.

does that mean that I am not allowed to give my programs away even if they are free and If that is the case does the Express version have the same restrictions assuming I don't get it from Dreamspark.
What Micro$oft is saying is that you can distribute them for free as much as you want. You can only distribute them commercially if you get the proper license(s).
The focus of the sentence is on

rather than on

In short, this sentence is actually discouraging you from selling your work, rather than saying you can ONLY sell it.
and sometimes there’s a third, even deeper level and that one is the same as the top surface one...Like with pie…
