I'm new with ubuntu and not really particular with the current situation. because extended and swap is at the last part of the disk.

I assume that it is not a LVM setup, right? Then it will be difficult to resize.

I presume that you want to resize sda1?
If so boot from the Live cd/usb and open gparted then right-click on the swap partition and select "swapoff".
All partitions should then be unlocked and sda1 can be resized.

That said is it worth it for less than 1Gb ?

I am actually planning to install win7 as a secondary OS and linux as default.

I would also want to have a partition where linux and ubuntu can access freely. ive red that ext2 does the job.

ext4 is the standard used, ext3 is older and secure

A partition which is shared between the two systems is usually NTFS.

NTFS works for me :-) And I don't trust MS writing to my ext partitions! :-)
