Sharing files between Vista/XP and Ubuntu?

I just got a new laptop with Vista, so I don't really need my old desktop to be a Windows machine. I want to set it up to serve my files over my home network as an Ubuntu machine; how do I set up my Ubuntu machine so that the XP and Vista machines in the house can read/write files to HDs on the Ubuntu machine? I just want a simple solution.

Thanks!

Robin

samba is what you need if you want the ubuntu machine to show up in your windows network.
