As you may know Google has released a Mac Version of FUSE, a set of binaries (?) that allow all you to mount ,read and right all sorts of file systems under OSX.
this is all well and good, but getting it to work seams a bit 'unixy', and adding the extra drivers (for the likes of NTFS) seams even more so.

IS there a Dev who could take all this and create a nice GUI front end for this complex install procedure.

The NTFS thing is the most useful allowing ether Parallels to work with the Bootcamp partition or to upgrade from XP to Vista (both requiring the windows partition to be NTFS formatted).

The core can be downloaded here
The 'get it working' Wiki is here
The NTFS 'drivers' (for want of a better word are avilable here (click the version No. at the top of the page)
Making this simpler for people who aren't expert at using terminal commands is bound to be popular.

Although they're using Google Code to host the MacFUSE project, it's not an official Google project.

The NTFS-3G driver homepage is NTFS-3G Read/Write Driver Home.

edit: Farking new forums software won't just let a link be a link.
