I think that's a great exaggeration.  Microsoft tries hard to keep
Windows compatible with Samba, even working around old Samba bugs
because it's embedded in NAS boxes that are hard to upgrade.

This report doesn't make much sense.  If Windows 10 "tries to
negotiate" an option that Samba doesn't support, presumably it can
accept a refusal.  Does Samba 4.1 claim to support the option, while
not actually implementing it properly?

If Samba 4.1 is buggy it should be fixed in jessie - not in jessie-
backports.
