Not all of them; I know of one, a workstation manufacturer in Mountain View named "Sun Microsystems", that maps files into the address space but does not have the same NFS worries. As was noted earlier, it's a question of how your system is layered; if your paging system can't be put atop NFS, it obviously makes mapping files into your address space over NFS more difficult.
