Been waiting for this for a long time. Basically writing to New Technology File System (NTFS) in Linux was considered unsafe. This is due to the fact that the open source developers had to reverse engineer Microsoft's NTFS file system. Finally there is a driver that can write to NTFS safely. It is released here. Not all features of NTFS are ready yet but there is one interesting thing -- you can now install Linux into an NTFS partition. In other words, you can access the Linux partitions from Windows in a dual boot system instead of installing some 3rd party ext2 and ext3 (file systems that Linux commonly uses) drivers for Windows.
