your question is so broad.

how many machines of each type
what services will be running
what are you looking to accomplish.

hi, thanks for reply. i am looking into for both (1) music studio and (2) advertising co. type of usage. I'm a not so good mac user. Heard from mac users that its not possible. But i couldn't see the logic behind it... so...
studio:
- sound-editing related software (in both mac and windows PCs)
like protools, cakewalk... etc...
- file server sharing for both sides
advertising agency:
- pictures-editing related software (in both mac and windows PCs)
like adobe, macromedia...
- file server sharing for both sides

From the OS X help files:
Setting up a Mac computer to share files with Windows users
You can set up your Mac so that you can share files with Windows computer users.
To allow Windows users to connect to your computer, you need to turn on Windows Sharing. When you turn on Windows Sharing, Mac OS X uses the Samba server software to provide SMB/CIFS file services.
You also need to give the Windows users the network address of your computer, and a user name and password of a user account on your computer.
1) Open System Preferences and click Sharing and, if necessary, click Services.
2) Select Windows Sharing in the list, then click Start.
3) Look below the services list for your computer's network address. Give this address to Windows users.
You can provide users with the user name and password of any account on your computer. To help keep your computer secure, you may want to create a special account for Windows users in Accounts preferences.
