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.)
