One google search brought up http://www.fs-driver.org/ which claims to be 
an ext2fs driver for Windows (well, NT4.0/2000/XP/2003...maybe it 
doesn't/won't/can't work with Vista), allowing rw access to ext2 
partitions from within Windows.

I don't have any experience with Vista, but have they abandoned NTFS for 
something newer?  Ubuntu has no problem mounting XP NTFS partitions.

/dev/hda1 on /media/hda1 type ntfs (rw,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46)
