Not sure those would help
Vista has two options:

Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications and
Services for NFS

I read through the docs for each and neither one seems particularly relevant here. If I'm wrong, send me some links to read more, please. Also they're only available in Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions, not in the Home editions which are most widely used in non-enterprise settings.
