What is Samba?
As the front page at samba.org says, "Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients." Samba is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.
Samba-3 by Example explains further, saying:
Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example, UNIX, Linux, IBM System 390, OpenVMS, and other operating systems. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server. When correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or server as if it is a Windows file and print server.
From The Official Samba HOWTO:
The goal behind the project is one of removing barriers to interoperability.

Basically that means it allows me to stream the terabyte of Media on my network to my 16GB Asus Nexus Tablet.
And Since I also have Netflix, that too streams directly to my Nexus wirelessly over FiOS.
Cool.
Now that's what I Call "Dancing..."
