If there is a patent question associated with the latest ntfs-3g 
sources, MS must declare its patent rights and inform the offending 
party/parties to be enforceable. I just look at the source codes, and 
all seem to be released under GNU Public License (GPL). So I assumed 
nothing there is non-free or it will violate the spirit of GPL.

I think as hardware/software virtualization improved and optimized, 
ntfs-3g will be less significant, if not already.

OK, I will do it upon completion of my test.
