True.  Anything with a filesystem that is read-write from Linux works, which 
at the moment puts NTFS out of the running.  That should be fixed soon...

First of all, it was a joke, and secondly, I agree.  This is why we need

I consider Windoze anything "legacy" in view of the future of Linux.  When

will be legacy.  Not just 3.1.
