SkyOS contributor Peter Speybrouck released his first version of a SkyFS/BFS reader for Windows. This application allows you to view the file structure and copy files from both SkyFS and BFS partitions. Additionally, it can read the file attributes supported by these filesystems. The application does not yet work on Windows Vista.

The biggest part of the code (to read the disk) comes from the bfs driver in haiku. That means that it already contains quite some code that should allow writing as well but I have not been experimenting with that part of the code yet.
Since most of the code was already open source, I don't intend to keep it closed.
About Vista support, I'm still stuck with XP so I can't test things easily. It should at least be run as administrator, but it looks like some ntlib functions might be the culprit.
Next thing I want to try to add would be write support.
Ultimate goal would be to make a driver from this application to allow native windows reading/writing of these partitions but don't expect that too soon
