Please, please: understand that you do *NOT* need any kind of special ntfs driver at all to access network samba shares - smb handles the files, and to the client it is an smb file system, regardless of the real filesystem behind.

To prove that: share any kind of files of your Linux machine (which certainly uses a file system which cannot be read by WinXP), and access the share with your Windows machine - it will work although WinXP cannot talk to ext3 or any other file system besides NTFS and FAT.

So: for *all* your reviews the presence or absence of any ntfs capabilities don’t make any difference!

You can get Windows-free laptops from here: http://www.system76.com/

But some may consider it "cheating" since they’re already quite GNU/Linux friendly thus you’ll probably avoid some of the Linux driver quirks you may get with some hardware. Anyways; check it out! :-)
