"I did want them seperate I only share a few utitilies, also if you did install something in one OS would that cut off the other OS from installing it to ?."

Well, you'll need to repartition and reinstall the OSes if you do want a separate partition for installed apps. With the vast majority of software you'll have no problems installing the same app for each OS to the shared partition (using FAT 32 on all 3 partitions,XP,98 and shared). You'll just need to boot to each OS and install, so 2 installs for each app.

"I also gave some thought on the swap & page file drive the only space I have left is next to the primary master HD so that would be zero benifit"

You can share the same partition for the swap file as well, you'll just need to rename it so both OSes use the same name for the file.
