Very easy. Linux reader. But maybe you cannot use it, as the EULA is politically correct.

“Without limiting the foregoing, use, display or
distribution of this SOFTWARE together with material that is ...racist (in the UK, this is broad)... promoting hatred,
discriminating or displaying prejudice based on religion, ...sexual orientation is strictly prohibited.”

Though i am not promoting hatred, truth is exclusive by nature, and it promotes prejudice toward that which opposes it, and toward homosex as a sin that requires repentance, so i think my web site (peacebyjesus.com) would be considered in violation of the EULA.

But i did write them, and they said i could still use it.

Wow.  Heh.  Ok, I have to say I wasn't aware of Linux reader, much less its... interesting EULA. hrmm.

In any event, you forgot the W part of R+W access.Linux Reader is for Read only access of ext3 file system patititons. If I recall correctly, the first version of Ubuntu I tried back in 2005 gave me hassle free Read access to my NTFS Win2k drive by auto-mounting the partition.  Write access to NTFS in Linux has only recently started to mature.

2005” Th NTFS driver would have barely come out around then if i am not mistaken

“Write access to NTFS in Linux has only recently started to mature.”

When it does, and can provide the ease of functionality of Vista’s disk management, and consistent cross platform power management, which, along with promising speech recognition and overall stability, are things that make Vista preferable to XP (despite the latter’s speed), and has greater ease of configuration, then Linux may find wider acceptance. If America has not been faced catastrophic judgment by God by then.
