There are a few softwares with support for those filesystems out there, like newbielink:https://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ [nonactive] or newbielink:http://www.ext2fsd.com/ [nonactive].

That would require lots of work very for very little gain. And since my time is limited this is not something I can spend time one.
However the API/SDK for creating file system plugins are open. So if anyone what to do it. fell free.

But is there not ext2/3/4 drivers for windows so you get direct support reading them via Windows ? I remember using something like that long ago.

I can only recommend, if someone uses Linux, to use Btrfs as default file system.

There is a Btrfs driver for Windows. So I can copy my files and folders that I created on Linux to Windows with Multi Commander.
