NFS or SMB on Windows Share

If I were to create a Windows shared folder, put a database file in that folder to be shared among multiple users of our client app, is that an NFS or SMB shared folder?

For the record it is now supposed to be referred to as CIFS (Common Internet File System). But yes, it is SMB.

Edit apparently with Windows 8 and Server 2012 we're back to SMB with SMB 3. Thanks, BenL

I would say it is a SMB shared folder. The SMB (protocol) is the NFS (protocol) in the Windows world.

That would be SMB.
