I think the way to go is a dual-boot machine. Make your Windows
run in FAT32 mode, this is easy to do. In my machine I chose /luz
for a Windows mount point during Linux time. Remember that you
have to put in your Windows first, it kills anything else you have
on the HD. But then you can squeeze down the single Windows
partition to make space for your two or three Linux partitions. Thus
you have a back door into your Windows if Microsoft's "Windows
Genuine Advantage" jazz decides your Windows is improper
somehow and shuts it down. (Hopefully if they do this, they don't
encrypt your files thus holding them hostage.)
