It started out as an AIX thing. To the best of my knowledge the server side is 
still only UNIX. Maybe a Win32 version of the server is available, but who'd 
take it seriously? ;o)

There are clients for most platforms, including Win32. As far as I know, 
Windows ACLs work over AFS. I never used the Windows client much. AIX ACLs 
certainly work.
