A recent study released by Net
Applications indicates that the market share of Windows among
Internet-connected devices could drop below 90% as soon as the fourth
quarter of this year. This seems to be the same report referred to earlier that showed Linux approaching a 1% use
share.

One of the components that is used on many Linux distros that Apple contribute a lot to is CUPS.
There's a good reason for that...Apple owns CUPS. It was initially developed by Easy Software Products but is now owned and maintained by Apple Inc. to promote a standard printing solution for *NIX systems. It is the standard printing system in Mac OS X and most Linux distributions alike.

IMHO, this has come on in leaps and bounds in the past couple of years.
Slightly Off Topic, the way,
why is it that the SMB implementation in OS/X finds windows shares better than any Windows system does?

It might not be SMB, you may be talking about the fact that OS X caches Windows shares. It's better at Windows networking than Windows, in my experience. Of course, as a server otherwise, it leaves a lot to be desired - BSD, Solaris, or Linux are better servers than OS X.
