justin,

i'm dealing with data space on my work laptop in exactly the way you're
considering - i have a 10Gb ntfs partition for win2k, a 10Gb ext3
partition for RH9, and a 20Gb fat32/vfat data partition that's readable by
both OSes.  short of vmware, it's the most effective solution i've found.  

i formatted mine fat32 in windows, then just mounted it as vfat in linux;  
i don't know if that's necessary, i just know windows tends to be pickier, 
so it seemed the safest method.
