If you mount using the userspace tools, yes it is ready for daily use :) The kernel driver still has limitations like, IIRC, being unable to create/rename/delete directories, and some other basic things like that. Using the FUSE tools from the classical NTFS driver you can do those things and the rest, but I think NTFS-3G is generally considered better. Most of the big distros use NTFS-3G as their default NTFS driver (as do I <g>) For more NTFS info than you ever wanted, check out www.linux-ntfs.org for the classic kernel driver and www.ntfs-3g.org for the newer driver.
