I have got a few machines at work running Microsoft SFU 3.5. It's free
for XP and server 2003, i am not sure if it works under 2000; Vista
Ultimate and Enterprise include it as well (well, the capability to
download it... - not on my office copy of Business unfortunately), as
well as 2008 server. Ours is NIS/NT4-domain environment (don't
laugh...), and it works reasonably well for the occasional use we
need.
