ntfs-3g is included by default in Fedora Workstation, but it's not
needed on UEFI installs for os-prober to find the Windows bootloader
because it's located on the FAT 32 EFI System partition. On BIOS
systems, the Windows bootloader is on an NTFS volume, hence the
dependency on ntfs-3g. And ntfsprogs is deprecated since Fedora 15.
