98 can only read FAT32 partitions... not NTFS.

XP can read either.

So any files that you want to share will need to be on FAT32 partition. NTFS is more efficient and secure, but that's the tradeoff you are going to have to make.

If you install a program under one OS, (for example, MS Office), you need to install it again under the other one. Even though the files are shared, each Windows will have its own Registry and system files. Keep that in mind.

All in all, I wouldn't both with 98 unless you really run some old applications or games that require it.
