AFAIK, there's no official plan to do this. There are unofficial
projects which allow for ntfs writing but they are not offically
sanctioned.

Keep in mind that Windows NT 6 - code name vista - has the same 3.1
driver as in the current versions of NT but may be updated when they
eventually release the winFS subsystem.

I've heard decent things about NTFSMount...

..YMMV, however. :)

I tried to install openSUSE 10.2 on my test machine alongside the Vista Beta,
but it kept complaining that the NTFS journal file was corrupt and it
couldn't shrink the partition, so it looks like Microsoft might have tweaked
something, either that or the partition shrinker in 10.2 needs some work...
