Ok, soooooooo how would shared devices be managed over a pc/mac network? Im talking about shared drives, printers etc. none of these devices are currently network attached and are just operating as shared devices on a single OS network, im guessing that as soon as I introduce a Mac to the mix, the sharing will be impossible?

Mac OS X offers printer sharing, and you can certainly share files cross-platform. That has always been part and parcel of Mac OS X, and it's only gotten more seamless over time. You can find out more over at Apple's site, or in your favorite book store, if you look for a book on Macs and networking.
