ntfs is in-kernel implementation while ntfs-3g is a better (more
robust, safe to write) user space implementation that runs over fuse
by the same developers. It might get merged into the kernel at some
point in the future to replace the in-kernel implementation.

Well it works fine when mount -t ntfs is used but in my /etc/fstab
the line /dev/sda1 /win ntfs noauto,user 0 0 does not work. Not at all
sure why.
