I use MacDrive for years now, found it very reliable and never once had any data loss or other issue.
Competition is good, though. Probably this will drive the price down ... 8^)

This is silly. If Microsoft had any brains they would build support for this into WINDOWS! What idiots...

I've been using HFS+Explorer for a while now. It's free too. But, it's read only (I think).

I can't find it on Apple's site at the moment, but you're right. Apple claimed that Boot Camp users would be able to read files from the Mac hard drive, but not write to it.

Nevermind, found it:

HFS+ read support in Boot Camp.
Boot Camp now includes HFS+ read support that enables you to access the files on your Mac OS X partition from Windows. It?s read-only to prevent PC viruses from affecting Mac OS X, but you can easily save your work to your Windows partition and access it later from Mac OS X.

Under System Wide.

@greek: Microsoft wouldn't offer this. It goes against their entire business model.
