Yeah, these
Ext2 drivers for Windows seem to work pretty well--the author does claim the "level of sophistication of the Ext2 file system driver's implementation is indeed comparable to Windows NT's native file system drivers"--but I tend to trust the Linux side of things more. After looking into it a bit, the consensus filesystem for a shared media partition on a dual-boot system seems to be VFAT. In spite of some of the advantages of NTFS being lost, one doesn't have to mess with non-native drivers under Windows and Linux support for it is very solid.
