The last time I looked at it, the "experimental" tag had been removed, but it only supported changes-in-place and deletion. That is, you could: read anything, write to a file as long as it did not change the file size, and delete. New file creation and file-size changes seem not to work - and deletion seems half-implemented, in that one of the things it does is mark the NTFS as dirty so that the next time you boot Windows, it forces a chkdsk to clean up the deletion properly.
