I don't, but others do. People whom I convince to try Linux can see their
Windows partition mounted gracefully, yet they are somewhat disappointed
when they cannot write to it. They can't share the same pool of
information across the two worlds, unless of course they centralise
everything on Linux and periodically 'pull' files from Windows.
The other choice is to use Windows tools which read Reiser and ext(X) and
therefore cater for centralisation of files under Windows. I am yet to
siscover Windows tools that can /write/ to Linux filesystems without Samba
or other available 'middleware'-type technologies. Platforms /must/ become
transparent and seamless one day. Only greed for lockin prevents it.
Best wishes,
Roy
