Yes, is not straightforward. Even Windows 95 can't access to NTFS filesystems.
Security concerns from MICROSOFT ? I think so.

One of the reasons about the success of Linux : is really an open platform.
It works well with almost every thing and we allways find the right software for a sepcific job. So we can put a Linux server in a multiplatform environment doing
anything we want.
This is possible because a lot of features of every new linux kernel. Is amazing.

And why not NFTS ?
If possible, this will be a nice touch in all other operating systems.
