> - (Not mentioned) Both Linux and Windows have built-in NFS clients. Does anyone use the NFS for Windows? Is it reliable enough I can move servers away from CIFS alogether if I want to access a Linux box from Windows. For instance if I click the folder's Properties in Windows, will I see the proper Unix perms and metadata and be able to edit them?

FYI: In windows (desktop versions) it's only now in the "Enterprise" version, and apparently will be removed in Windows 10. Not sure if there are limitations to which server versions are currently supported. CIFS/SAMBA in Linux has been pretty good, imho for the past couple years... though I still get some occasional wonky behavior from my NAS box.

  Where have you heard that they are removing the NFS client in Win10?

    I have read this as well, and to my experience, it really isn't available in my windows 10 preview vm.
