Thanks, yes, of course their are those.  I should have defined what I
meant a bit better.
Is there a tool out there that allows a windows user to access linux
directories with an explorer like interface, or in some fairly
seemless way so that linux machines show up in `network places' or
something similar.

Something like an nfs for windows I guess.  I've seen that very thing
but it was an ancient non-developed app.
