There's already EXT2 drivers out there for various WinOSes, with (optional) write support. It's not exactly robust as of yet, but I've made use of it on a few occasions. Some also can do (read only) access of EXT3. (mostly so that my gaming Win2k partition can access my MP3 collection; Even when I'm doing read-only, I don't like using non-journaling filesystems)
Though, I don't think it'd be even remotely trivial to get Windows to /boot/ from an EXT2/EXT3 partition on any version of Windows.

Sadly, at this moment I don't have access to my links list for what I've used. Fortunately, someone who wants more info can always use google. =>
