If gonna dual boot 2k / xp

Is there anyway i can install Office xp and use it on both OS's without 2 copies? Same with every app

You should be able to install it into each OS - But specify the same drive/partition and install options. The second install will then overwrite the app files. All config data for each OS should be in the individual OS registrys so should be fine.

I think I had Win98/2K running with Office like this for a while but it was some time ago.

Of course there may be good reasons why an app would install different versions of files depending on OS......

Dual booted that and 2k kept installing to D:\ same as 98 still dual booted just i had 30gb wasted partition
