I have Ubuntu/Vista Multiboot. While in Ubuntu I can access all my NTFS vista partition but not vice versa. Is there a legal hacking to get vista read the ubuntu file system?

Not really, there are a few ext2/3 drivers for windows but they tend to be a bit poor
best idea is to create a small FAT partition when you install, that way both OSes can use it as a shared drive

So you mean I can create FAT32 with Ubuntu. I'm ready to format it!

For what they're worth, the ext2/3 filesystem drivers for Windows work fine if you only require read-only access or need to transfer one or two files (and your data is backed up).
Regarding FAT32, I don't see how that would be particularly useful. We've already established that Ubuntu has read/write access to NTFS (maybe not the most solid driver in the world, but it's decent), so how would an intermediate FAT32 partition help anything?

If you only need to read from your Ubuntu partition, go ahead and use the ext3 drivers for Windows. While they have some problems with writing files, read-only access works fine.
The newest versions of Ubuntu come preinstalled with ntfs-3g, the driver that provides write access to NTFS partitions, and it's been in a very stable state for over a year. If you want a GUI configuration tool for it, go here:
