Sorry, a gremlin ate my link. Here's what I meant:
http://www.fs-driver.org/ - it's an ext2 driver for Windows.

But I also agree FAT32 is alive and popular choice, no only for
stationary drives but also for "semi-stationary" large external USB hard
drives and similar equipment - I don't think the time has come to
discard FAT32 for local storage.

(Many of things discussed in this thread are fairly easy on recent
Linuxes with automounting - file systems that have been automounted are
probably not permanent).
