Does LVM with with FAT32 filesystems?

I find that on laptops (and other dual boot systems) it's easiest to 
have the shared data on FAT32 partitions so they can be easily 
read/written whether booting Linux or Windows. The idea of LVM seems 
great, but not if it results in my needing to use filesystems that 
aren't accessible from Windows when I boot that way.
