Yeah, It's in MS's best interests to support an open source file system eh?
As far as I can tell, MS don't support ext2 or ext3, but Windows
(since at least 2000) has a mechanism for installing file systems, and
third parties have written ext2 drivers. I've found two:
http://www.ext2fsd.com/
http://www.fs-driver.org/
I'm not expecting to use Windows much (we've not had a Windows system
in the house for years, and work is all Linux), so I'm inclined to go
with ext2 or ext3 for the shared partition.
Thanks for all the advice.
