definitely possible.  MS-MPI implements the MPI-IO routines as does 
Intel MPI.   I don't have any experience with parallel I/O on Windows, 
but I think you're going to find file system client support a bigger 
challenge than MPI-IO support.

I don't know what the consistency semantics of SMB/CFS are: when are 
writes from one client visible to another?
