10	If you want to get files to windows hosts that aren't running
11	(dual-boot), you can do so with ntfs-3g which is a FUSE filesystem that
12	can write to NTFS.

14	If the systems are running alongside the linux, use SMB/CIFS -- serve
15	on windows if you don't want those 'filesystems' to access your
16	linux. I don't trust SMB shares either, but putting data from linux
17	onto them is no different than putting files on there with a flash
18	drive or disc.
