Other alternatives if it is just an occasional thing is to try the  
ext2 installable file system for Windows (freeware that gives read/ 
write access to ext2 filesystems) or the standalone Explore2fs (which  
gives you a drag and drop way to read ext2/ext3 filesystems from  
Windows).  And there is read access to NTFS from Linux, so each can  
read the other's filesystem.

But a FAT32 partition is great if you have the space (or the  
forethought to have created one :-).
