It's all a matter of picking a file system that both OSs can read/write to. FAT32 is another option. You can move your iTunes folder to a FAT32 disk or partition, however this will give you a limit of how much you can eventually store in iTunes. You could also move your home folder to the FAT32 partition if that's what you've formatted your Windows partition as.
