Purchase a cheap Windows system to act as a file server on your home network, and you can share data using CIFS, or... Create a partition for Windows to share data with FreeBSD, and use an IFS driver to access it in a neutral filesystem, like EXT3 (something like http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm ). Depending on what you're using Windows for, you could also look into running something like VMWare on FreeBSD. Personally, just for less hassle down the road, I'd personally opt for the second machine and use file shares to share data. But that's just me...
