"There are no good NFS server implementations for Windows platforms. NFS implements traditional UNIX file ownerships and permissions, which don't map well to FAT (which has no notion of permissions) or NTFS (which has more advanced ownership and permission capabilities). Windows also has no notion of a symbolic link or a block/character special file. Consequently the best that one can hope to achieve is a clumsy emulation of a UNIX-like filesystem."
Seeing as how you mentioned that... AFS's permissions model is neither that of Unix nor that of Windows NTFS. (Under certain circumstances, that makes it the worst of both worlds...)
