It supports NFSv3 and TCP mounts which (right now) is all you want.  
We'll see if MS start to support NFSv4, but right now, IIRC, even BSD 
may not support that fully. 

The thing about software, is that if it works, it doesn't need 
updating.  NFS does not get 38 new features a fortnight so doesn't need 
patching all the time.  If the software worked in 2004, and the standard 
didn't change, MS would have no need to update anything.

I cannot say that MS NFS works fine, because I am still evaluating it 
myself.  I can say that googling *didn't* turn up millions of problems.  
So it's probably the case that since this is a relatively 
straightforward protocol with a well defined standard (RFC), even MS 
could find competent programmers to implement it.
