The technical reason is because Microsoft Vista's default security policy is to only use NTLMv2 authentication. To get Vista to work with Samba follow this simple tutorial.

"Don't you think that it's useful and important for *nix servers and Windows PC to interoperate?"
I'll answer that one so we don't have flames. Yes, it is very important. I admin for a software development company that develops cross-platform software. It is imperative all our Windows, Linux, *BSD and Sun boxes talk to each other.
"Is Microsoft copying the basic principles of their GUI from Apple and Xerox a good thing, or should they have been better to spend their time doing something different?"
That is a good thing as well, as it has helped the industry grow. One thing Microsoft with Windows did help to do was to bring home computing to the masses by making the GUI a bit better. It is not solely responsible of course, however it did have a major impact. I for one am glad they did not develop something different.
