Default Dual boot machine & PST file

Is it possible to share the same pst file on a dual boot machine (Vista &
XP)? pst file will be in the XP installation folder with Outlook on both
machines.

Yes, although you may find it prudent to locate the pst / data files in My
Documents rather than default location.
Be aware only OL2003 & above is fully compatible / problem free in Vista

as long as your user account has permission to the location, yes it will
work. personally, I would put it (and all data files) in a shared folder,
preferably on a separate drive or partition.
