Windows-compatible file system?

So I'm trying to dual-boot with Ubuntu and Vista, but I need a "shared" partition where I can store files that both systems use. What file system should this partition use? Most of my files are pretty big, ranging from around 1GB to 6, and FAT32 (from what I know) only supports files up to 4GB in size. Is there another (better) file system that is compatible with both operating systems?

Thanks in advance.

Never mind! I found a way around it so that Linux doesn't have to access it. This can be deleted or whatever.

Just in case anyone wants to know this in future: The Linux support for NTFS has vastly increased over the last few years, so that would be one option. Another would be using ext2 / ext3 and this driver for Windows.

Oh, that Windows driver is actually really handy. Thank you!
