If you want both free beer and free speech, try using Cygwin instead of
Services for Unix. I haven't personally used cygwin as an NFS server,
but the NFS client works fine, and I know the NFS server is available.
It would be worth a try - yes, there is an OSS world on Windows, even if
it's smaller.
I have to run Windows at $WORK due to some stupid call-management
software I have to run, but cygwin makes my life much happier. It also
makes it easy to connect to Linux servers via X windows (though I
typically use putty for SSH connections instead of the native ssh, since
putty's console is better than the standard Windows console that cygwin
uses.)
