No. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/100625

However, ntfs-3g only creates files in the POSIX namespace on NTFS,
which means that, depending on the filename, some files you create on
Linux won't be able to be opened by apps (such as the Windows shell)
that rely on assumptions not violated by the DOS and Win32 namespaces.
