See http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.10/@ReadMe for
what packages are not made available as binary packages for Windows.
You can install packages Rmpi and rpvm from the sources (but not
easily) if you have the requisite software installed. See e.g.
http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/yu/Rmpi/windows.htm
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/06/11/5171.html
'NWS' is not a uniquely defined TLA. Perhaps CRAN package 'nws' is
meant, which does have a Windows binary, but note the description
Description: Provides coordination and parallel execution facilities,
as well as limited cross-language data exchange, using
the netWorkSpaces server developed by REvolution
Computing
which suggests you need a commercial product to use it (despite the
lack of a SystemRequirements field).

Did they ever exist? According to the listing of Rmpi on CRAN would
indicate that there is none, only the tar.gz file. This is very OS
specific sort of stuff.
