For me, Samba [and two, side-by-side desks] is the answer.  I do what I 
can in Linux and only use Windows for what I can't.  With symlinks and 
windows shortcuts, my Linux home directory is just a click away from my 
Windows documents directory, and vice-versa.  Data that works on both 
machines is shared.
