Can OSX read/write to a shared windows NTFS folder?
Any computer can write to any drive ON A NETWORK as long as the client computer is allowed the proper permissions on the host computer.
If you are talking about directly connecting an external drive via USB or FireWire formatted NTFS, you can only read. To write to this drive, it must be formatted FAT32.

Yes, my host computer will be my desktop (WinXP Home, all drives formatted NTFS). If I set the Shared Folder to "Allow Network Users To Change My Files", OSX should be able to read/write to those folders?
You don't need MacFuse or anything else. Just open Finder, click GO and select "Connect to Server" From there you list the IP address and share name. (example: smb://192.168.0.2/sharedfolder) As long as folder sharing on you Windows server is setup correctly, you will be prompted for credentials and connected.
