ntfs-3g (not installed by default, iirc) allows read/write to Vista's 
NTFS, but you should always be careful when dealing with important 
data on proprietary file systems :-)  Some dual-booters run into 
trouble because their Windows NTFS file system is unclean, either due 
to partial corruption or improper transaction resolution from improper 
shutdown...
