Not in the sense that I think you mean. One won 't know about the others
restrictions. Therefore, what is readable only in linux by root, may be
readable by anyone in windows (with ext3 filesystem support) and
similarly, what is readable in windows only by an administrator/user
could be read by anyone in linux once its mounted. Thats why linux
mounts ntfs by default with read access only to root. Although you can
change this quite easily.

There is support available. I 've never used it though. I think I once
got ext3 support for windows free on a magazine cd...

Nothing is secure from hackers if they have access to your machine.
They can just use a linux boot disc and read/write everything. There
are even windows boot discs that reset the administrator password. And
if you stop booting from discs in the bios and set a password on it?
Well you just reset the bios password with an onboard jumper, or put the
disc in another machine. So the only real answer is to lock you pc in a
safe... and ecrypt everything... :)

Yep, sort of. Fedora is more like a
community-contributed-faster-updated RedHat linux. Fedora replaces
RedHat 10 for the desktop, as RedHat has stopped their 'desktop ' product
(see many many posts on this list, plus fedora.redhat.com, etc)
