I used the kernel drivers availabe from http://www.fs-driver.org/ with
some success, however, I did find that there were some character set
translation issues, meaning that some filenames that contained accented
characters on ext3 did not translate correctly under XP.  If you're
looking for nothing more than a data store shareable between the two
OS' I'd suggest sticking with fat32 for the moment.  This is windows'
last barrier to switching - interoperability, but it won't be long
before that too is a thing of the past.

There is now also a reliable NTFS R/W driver available for Linux, so
you could theoretically format the drive NTFS, though I've not tried
this yet.
