This is exactly what I was looking for the last 18 months. I did a big donation. Why doesn't Apple do this?

Because Apple wants people to pay for Mac OS X Server Unlimited (@ $999 per CPU) if they want a file server.Samba is open source freeware, so Apple can't cripple that really. NFS doesn't lend itself either.
The only real difference between Mac OS X Server and Mac OS X is that Apple uses for some services better freeware than on Mac OS X, ads a few admin tools, and makes AFP serving available. Also, they add some shell access tools for many admin functions.
With the right tools and some 3rd party software, you can do all of that also with the regular OS X...
