Has anyone ever asked microsoft why there is still no native support in windoze for mounting ext2?
The specs have been fully and publicly documented for many years.
I am not a customer, so I do not interact with them at all.
"Thank you for your question. Currently we have no plans to implement the ext2 filesystem support in our windows products. This may be introduced at a later time. Have a nice day!"

I haven't contacted MS, but from my experience with other big companies replying to requests from mere mortal, and considering MS's arrogance, i'm betting my bank account the reply will be something to the tune.
They can barely make their own systems work, they have no reason to implement something that will only benefit the competition (*nix systems are pretty much the only ones using ext_ )
There are 3rd party apps to do the mounting, like these, though i screwed up my ext3 by using this one

Format a microSD card as ext2 and put it in the n900. You might have to mount it yourself. Transfer the file with scp.
