Looks quite interesting - thanks for the link! I see Ext3 is also supported- 
which covers many of the more modern distros :)
Not running Windows, I will get the wife to test it out ;)
I was looking at the link and wondering - as this does not preserve Linux file 
permissions, I assume that if the Windows machine was compromised, the 
attacker could gain access to the majority of the Linux system and add 
himself to the users or carry out root type activity or other nefarious 
activities?
