Me. Not to support Window, but for inhouse-compatibility.

Windows should die, but as long as it exists it is nice to have AFS there :)

Hmm, well, not really. We're integrating AFS and there are a lot of
difficulties with other UNIX-tools over the years. Main problem is
that AFS only supports ACLs on directories, not for single files.

This means you have to move some files to protection-directories and
doing some symlinks afterwards. Not a real problem, but ugly :)
