  Not totally true.  If the partition stays FAT, you can install win95 in
directory \win95 and winnt in directory \winnt4, for example.  The trick
is to install windows 95 first, then install winnt.  I have even briefly
had win NT 3.51, NT 4.0 and Win95 on the same partition, booting into each
with the bootloader menu.

  However, you loose the directory control information without NTFS.
