Windows 7 Networking with XP, Vista or Windows 7

This question is more in general.
If I got three PC - Windows 7, Vista and XP.

If there is data on Windows7 Professional and would like to access it on Vista and XP computer. So how can I access the data. Do I have to have the same user name on all the PCs.
But If I have different user name for some reason then how it works.

You'd just create a share and add any users that you'd like to access that share.

Create networkUser on every PC. Create a share on every PC. Allow access to networkUser on each of the shares.

This should work. Then you'd just simply browse to the computer \\computername\sharename or \\computername\C$ (for C drive, change the letter for different drives)
