I'd guess because he also has windows boxes on the network which wish to
mount the same shares and doesn't want to have two different network
filesystems to manage. You can do NFS on Window and it sorta works, but
CIFS support is obviously way better. NFS on Linux has never been all
that great anyway. At least, it's never managed to pass fsx.c
