As long as samba is running and the windows login name is the same as 
the linux name - or you are using samba as the domain controller for 
windows it should just work.  That is, each windows user will only see 
the corresponding home directory.   If you also want access to linux 
applications while running windows you can use the NX client with 
freenx, cygwin X, or vnc.
