 If you've got Samba running on a unix server, and a
Samba-exported
filesystem is mounted on some lame Windows box, and a lame Windows user
decides to activate this Microsoft-enabled virus, then sure, Microsoft
lameness can infect non-MS systems to some extent. 

No surprize.  W9x filesystems (FAT16/32) have no real protections save for
the
samba box validating the connecting host has permissions.  It's nature of
the
filesystem.  NTFS is slightly better as the ganularity of control is like
unix in that
can restrict what is done with the file (readonly for example).
