that is something I'm considering but I may just go with win32 and ext3.  I haven't decided yet.

To bridge the gap, until NTFS write becomes easily available a common 
solution, which I do is to have 3 partitions.
1 NTFS - Windows & Programs
2 Linux - Everything
3 Fat32 - Files

#3 can be read and written from either, I even share my bookmarks and 
email profiles with Firefox and Thunderbird so they read from the same 
place.
