EXT2/3 on win32?

Apparently, there is an EXT2/3 driver for the win32 platform (well, NT4/2K/XP).
Bout damn time, says I.

And since it is a kernel mode driver, well, yay. Access across the board!
Sweet.

I have some FAT32 formatted partitons for my shared data, since NTFS writing using the 2.6.x linux kernel is still a bit shaky.
Reading, great. Writing? Not so much.
Quoth the Moby™ on Linux NTFS writing:
[16:43] moby: heh shakey?
[16:43] moby: freakin useless
[16:44] moby: you can only modify an existing file and you can’t increase the file size

Ah, almost forgot: Ext2 IFS For Windows.
Be kinda dumb to write about this and not link up.
Just installed. Not even a reboot required. Swank.
