One of the less known problems with [file/printer] sharing is that the sharing Windows PC becomes a server. So it starts broadcasting the availability of shared resources on to the network.
For a typical small peer-to-peer network that is not a big problem. For a big server based network letting lots of workstations become -peer-like broadcasting- servers can put a serious strain on the network.
