Why is proper NTFS-driver difficult?

Hello,


I was wondering why is there no Linux NTFS-driver which allows full writing etc? Is there something that makes this particular difficult to implement? I mean Linux supports so many file systems, why has proper NTFS support been neglected?

Is there any file system I can use which satisfies these criteria:
A) works in both Linux and Windows
B) handle >4GB files
C) handle 120GB partitions


Sincerly,
/m
