The most probable reason for their not claiming support for anything but Windows is that they are not prepared to do customer assistance for SAMBA. The development team made it to run Linux and probably SAMBA, but that has nothing to do with support. Also (as was mentioned in an above post) Linux on the client side can be such a variable situation that it becomes difficult to prepare support staff in a timely fashion.
Overall, I would guess that Linux work on the client, but you are on your own:)

Well, that certainly makes sense. If any of you saw Win2K in the early NT5 beta stages, you may have noticed that while the services and networking did not function at all, the Open-GL enabled GUI was great. Now tell me again how fade-out menus help your fileserver......
Hiliary Rosen: "This is not just about online vs. offline," said Hilary Rosen, president and CEO of the RIAA. "Most in the online business community recognize that what Napster is doing threatens legitimate e-commerce models and is legally and morally wrong."
Since when is the CEO of any huge business in the driver's seat of morality or legality? I believe that the recording industry is currently under investigation for price-gouging by the FTC, which is both illegal and immoral. It also strikes me that any industry that has no qualms about the less-than-ideal content or lifestyle of the artists that they represent has no business pointing fingers at people for copyright infringement. I realize that there are indeed certain legal issues regarding the copyrights at stake here, but what is wrong with a little revolution to update these century-old laws to reflect current technology? Perhaps if some of these industries spent a little money updating their technology instead of still trying to milk old tech, this would not happen.
I have noticed in these postings and reading elsewhere that websites with EULAs pretty much all say that you may not download and electronically store or redistribute the contents of their site. Therefore, proxy servers and local caching of the pages is clearly a violation of storage and redistribution. Also, here is a quote from Intuit's terms and conditions of use for their web site: */ quote User Conduct On the Service: While using the Web site, you may not: Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Service; Post or transmit any unlawful, fraudulent, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, profane, threatening, abusive, hateful, offensive, or otherwise objectionable information of any kind, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national or foreign law, including without limitation the U.S. export control laws and regulations; or Post or transmit any advertisements, solicitations, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities or schemes or other unsolicited commercial communication (except as otherwise expressly permitted by Intuit) or engage in spamming or flooding; or Post or transmit any information or software which contains a virus, trojan horse, worm or other harmful component; or Post, publish, transmit, reproduce, distribute or in any way exploit any information, software or other material obtained through the Service for commercial purposes (other than as expressly permitted by the provider of such information, software or other material); or Post, publish, transmit, reproduce, or distribute in any way, information, software or other material obtained through the Service which is protected by copyright, or other proprietary right, or derivative works with respect thereto, without obtaining permission of the copyright owner or rightholder; or Upload, post, publish, reproduce, transmit or distribute in any way any component of the Service itself or derivative works with respect thereto, as the Service is copyrighted as a collective work under U.S. copyright laws. */ So if an unsuspecting surfer's unnamed email client is forwarding Melissa around, they are violating this agreement. How is this remotely enforceable? Why should they care? I wonder how many legal purveyors of pornography keep their financial records in line using Quickbooks. What would Intuit do if they knew? Of course, my posting this is a violation in retrospect, but my local cache and proxy already stored it, so....
Take an even deeper breath... Mellissa responsible parties: Programmer (wrote it) MS (VBS) Cisco, Bay, Lucent, 3-com, AT&T, C&W, Sprint..... (transport medium) Mother Nature (silicon) ISP's (aloowing you internet access) Intel or Cyrix/IBM or AMD for providing the processor instructions that allow MS apps to run. You, for buying and using a computer/OS/application that allows Melissa to happen, despite the fact that almost everyone knows that viruses have been in existance since the dawn of the PC age of computing and that internet access is the #1 way to contract a virus/trojan horse/worm. Gets to be ridiculous in a hurry. Sooner or later someone will file a class-action lawsuit against their representative deity for creating the whole fscking mess in the first place...
Lost in original post: So, if your US company has a foreign parent company. you cannot use this software (as you are ultimately under the control of a "foreign person"). Also, if you are leagally in the US on a work visa, you may not use this software in your job because you are a "foreign person", and anyone who reports to you may not use it either. Or does this fall under US export regulations? Either way, it is ridiculous and I am here to ridicule it!

By using the program, you are warranting that you are not a "foreign person" or under the control of a "foreign person""
