Absolutely.

Can windows read off of a Linux partition?

Out of the box - No. However, there are 3rd party utilities which allow Windows to access native Linux file systems.

BUT... I think many Linux gurus would argue they'd rather not give Windows access to their Linux partitions to start with....

If you network the connection, you can use SAMBA (on Linux ) to cause r/w access to Linux data
