It recognizes NFS shares by the file system name of "NFS". I only have
the Microsoft NFS client so I have no idea if that works with other NFS
client implementations as well. Given that the access mechanism using
EAs is not (yet) documented, I doubt that other NFS clients for Windows
use the same technique.
