I read recently that Microsoft has made its Services For Unix (SFU) free.
Since I use a Linux server, I thought it may be worth switching my file
sharing from Samba to NFS.

Does anybody have any comments on this? I understand setting up the Windows
side of things will be more difficult than using SMB, but the Linux side
will be a bit easier, won't it?

My Windows machine also exports some directories so that my Linux server can
access them. I gather this will become easier by switching solely to an NFS
solution.

cheers,
