There are a few ways people could try to get this working by also
having a small NTFS partition on the stick with some software that
would let Windows somehow use the ext3 partition:

1. ext3 filesystem access - several programs

2. coLinux

3. Maybe qemu (caroline also expressed interest in QEMU-Puppy type
functionality)
