What's this "lack of NFS" stuff?  We had a Windows-NT demo machine
here where I work a few months ago, and it had NFS.

Not that I'll ever use NT, mind you -- I couldn't live without Unix --
but one shouldn't slam a system based on misinformation.

Is the problem that the NFS implementation doesn't come from
Microsoft?  (I think we got it from Intergraph.)
