This sounds quite misleading to me.  I think at this point it's
*Microsoft* who had better get on the stick and put NFS on "their"
OS.  That is, if they want "their" OS to talk to anybody else's
file systems.  I doubt the lack of Microsoft connectivity is strangling
Sun sales.

Last I heard you couldn't even get TCP/IP for OS-1/2.  Architec was
selling an OS-1/2 NeWS, but it couldn't network with any other NeWS
because they couldn't find a TCP.  Though I must say I haven't been
tracking OS-1/2 closely.  I figured why buy Unix over ten slow years of
development when you can get the real thing today -- and without being
stuck on intel hardware or with one vendor.
