MS’s implementation of NFS?  Less overhead?  Highly doubtful ;)

 

I’m pretty sure that MS would make CIFS faster by making NFS slower…

As for the SMB vs CIFS thing, they’re essentially the same.  If you’re using Windows, you’re using CIFS (unless you’ve loaded services for unix, but I’m pretty sure you’d realize if you were utilizing NFS by accident).

Due to the fact that it would be faster with less overhead?  Oh wait, this is windows... nm  ;)
