[h3]Access Linux file systems from Windows[/h3]
If you've ever had the gumption to access Linux file systems from Windows, you might be interested in trying coLinux. This version of Linux runs a modified kernel that can be run like a Windows executable, which permits it to function like a WIN32 application. Once inside, Polishlinux takes you through the steps to mount Linux drives inside Windows from your coLinux session.


[h3]IBM talks Fedora on the PS3[/h3]
Sometimes it's easy to forget that Big Blue has a hugenificent research and development department. Today they're leveraging the power of R&D in an article that clearly spells out how to get Fedora working smoothly on the Playstation 3.


[h3]Capcom talks Devil May Cry IV and piracy[/h3]
It is rare that consumers get a direct line to game developers and their executives. It is even more rare that these executives take the opportunity to talk realistically and humanly about their product, rather than dishing out canned responses. But Capcom just extended this opportunity to fans of the popular Capcom Unity site, where a user sought to satisfy an eternal curiosity: Is Capcom pleased with the sales of Devil May Cry 4?

What ensued was an open discourse with Christian Svensson, the Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development of Capcom. He noted that while DMC4 was strongly pirated, they were still optimistic about the future of the PC by saying "We are members of the PCGA. As a company, we strongly believe that the future of the PC is bright."

This is truly a fascinating read and a rare opportunity to see a major firm talk in an approachable manner.

Alternatively, for ext2/3 filesystem access under Windows you can use the Ext2 IFS project. It's a kernel-mode driver so you can just access the partition/disk like normal in Windows.

There's also another project called andLinux which runs linux in a micro kernel in windows.
