I have upgraded from XP to Windows 7 Professional. I used Windows Services for Unix in XP but have been informed this is not available for Windows 7. I do not see a NFS Client in the Windows 7 Professional version. What options are there?

2011-04-13T21:20:28+00:00 I do as you state but, Client for NFS is not an option I can turn on in Windows 7 X64 Professional... What can I do?
I just verified that the Client for NFS is not included in Windows 7 Professional. I installed Windows 7 Enterprise and found the directions that
Marilyn O and Geonk gave work. You may need to upgrade to either the Enterprise version or perhaps Ultimate version of W7.

Isn't there a virtual machine integrated in 7, that runs XP?
b) Upgrade to Enterprise/Ultimate.
(Also if you have a close look at this [ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=896C9688-601B-44F1-81A4-02878FF11778 ]: you will see: "Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows 7 Enterprise; Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit edition; Windows 7 Ultimate; Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit edition"
c) Make your shares available with samba
d) Use Linux
