Are there any issues with storing (& more importantly working from) Mac files stored on a Windows server (2003)? The I.T. guy thinks I should move all my files to the server and work off of that. We also occasionally use outside sources if we get uber busy and the idea is it would be easy for whomever to log into the server and get whatever files they need. Currently we have Apple Remote Desktop running and the one outside source we regularly use has access to my computer and files (this has worked in the past and I don't see the need for change).

I'd rather not do it but I'm looking for a little more ammo to back me up. Are there any interoperability issues (will windows fry a quark/Indd/whatever file?) or anything else I can use to sway the powers-that-be to my side?

Thanks!
