I'm sure he is really talking about an NFS server for windows...

Samba would run under windows, except that we do not currently support
the locking primitives that windows uses.  (This would naturally imply
using cygwin).  In fact, there is rumour that an old version of Samba
had been ported there at one point - it's certainly possible, given the
existence of the OS/2 port.
