Why? If you use gparted (ntfsprogs, under the covers, IIRC), the system will chkdsk on the next boot. No such requirement exists with Microsoft's tools
That's not been my experience... gparted does use ntfs-3g to work on NTFS partitions (what linux-based tool doesn't?), but does not by default set the dirty bit. Its GUI also offers much-finer granularity than microsoft's.
