Actually, it's worse. The driver requires you to turn of driver signature verification of Windows. That's just a huge mess. (Also, it doesn't support the current Windows version). I don't think that using ext2fsd is possible "without much difficulty". It's great that such a tool exists, but it's a hacker tool, for somebody who is willing to alter his Windows installations in non-trivial ways. I am pretty sure that just downloading an ISO of the latest Fedora livecd and dd'ing it to an USB disk is a ton more fun that the ext2fsd dance, and is a lot more comprehensive with its LVM, LUKS, btrfs support that pretty much just works.
