[OpenAFS-devel] AFS Server for Windows

[Nathan Neulinger]

Are you sure you understand the difference between the AFS servers and
clients? Generally, there's very little reason to run a Windows based
fileserver if you have linux systems in your shop.

I believe the fileserver on windows hasn't received much attention at
all in openafs, so will probably require some code work before it will
be functional again. 

You can run the client on windows/mac though without too much trouble.
