I used to use it but I hear Paragon NTFS is a much better solution. Costs $30 for a license and I think it should be worth it for those who use NTFS drives...

It works, but it's slow, especially writing, which it does at
about 2 MB/sec on my iMac C2D, which my research showed
as being typical. Paragon is much better (up to 30 MB/sec
writes to a USB NTFS drive) and worth the money.

I'm not sure if I installed it wrong or what, but Macfuse/NTFS-3g on Leopard corrupted my Windows partition when I copied files in Finder from Mac to Windows.

chkdsk /F couldn't fix the errors..
