Linux supports reading ntfs just fine, but writing it is a little more iffy. There is support, but it is *experimental* because ntfs is a moving target and Microsoft in there infinite wisdom may change it in a way which breaks the support at any time. At least this is the impression I got from researching this a while back. So I guess using ntfs write support is at your own risk. You could always create a fat32 partition somewhere where windows and linux can share data. That's not ideal, but then again you'll probably discover that neither is duel booting. One system tends to get used while the other remains unbooted for months. What exactly you are doing determines which OS is which.
