Agreed. I had a networking problem way back with Edgy Eft, so I transferred a JAVA APP via floppy to the NT4 partition(running windows) then rebooted to EE and 'peered' into the inactive NTFS partition to retrieve the windows-created Java Class. Then I loaded it into Eclipse on EE and finished it. I use it to this day on my website. But the point is that Ubuntu has been able to look and write to any NTFS drive or partition for ages.
