[Wine]
with wine you can choose to set up a fake windows-directory in your
home-dir or to access your windows-partition directly

you can use the setup-program from the package "winesetuptk" (which i
like) to configure wine, although the wine-package has a setup-tool
called winecfg included

[NTFS]
by default you can only mount NTFS-partitions read-only in linux, you
will have to install/configure extra software to mount it read-write
