Of course not! Do they share a common Windows folder/registry?!

It is a good idea to install Office and any other programs in a common
partition. However, you still have to go through the process of
installing the software under both OS so that it is regisered properly
under both OS.

As Windows 2000 and Wndows XP share the same file systems (NTFS I think?)
it doesn't matter. However if the dual system is with Windows 9X or ME
then the software has to be installed on Fat32 file system for both
disparate system to be able to read the files. You also need to give
consideration .to your "My Documents folder".
