Since I have a FAT32 partition setup to share files between WinXP
and Ubuntu on my Dell laptop, I do not mount the NTFS partition. So, I'll
be waiting to hear from Paul as well as to whether or not it worked by
default for him.
However, I can say that according the the Ubuntu community docs, starting
with Ubuntu 7.10, NTFS volumes are supposed to be mounted read/write by
default.

I would bet that there are other recently released Linux distributions that
do likewise being that the NTFS-3G driver has been stable for over a year.
