   I just now tested it.   
      
   On the Linux side   
       echo "Test with upper case" >Test   
       echo "test with lower case" >test   
      
   On the windows side, only the all-lower-case side is visible.   
      
   After I do "touch Test", it flips so that only Test is visible.   
      
   Interestingly, this has never come up in my real life, and if   
   I ever successfully get my file systems converted to "case   
   preserving" the spelling that is created first will prevail,   
   but the content matches the latest write access;   
   i.e. after the above setup, "cat Test" on the Linux side   
   will yield "test with lower case".   
      
   So it appears that Samba makes a decent approximation.
