Here's my take: 

You CAN install them on the same partition.

Install Win 95 first.
Then put NT into a separate DIRECTORY, usually Windows for Win 95
WINNT for NT...

Need to run install for APPS twice, but in the SAME DIRECTORY, i.e.
install MS Office into \program Files\Msoffice. Run install once from 
Win 95 and once from NT, each time specifying the same dir. 

Second install should go faster b/c the files are already there...

You WILL have duplicates of DLLs, once in Windows/System*, once
in WINNT/System*

If you don't put the programs into the same directory, your disk space
will dwindle.

I have not found any apps that won't work with this config...
