   If you've got the user configurations for all those distros   
   indiscriminately mixed up on that shared /home partition, there could be   
   all sorts of unpredictable effects.  I think it would be better to have   
   each distro using its own /home directory, with a link to shared data in a   
   separate partition.  You'll still have to take care with 'permissions' for   
   the shared stuff, and beware that files created or modified by one version   
   of an application may not be compatible with the older version in another   
   distro.   
      
   I wouldn't let Windows get any hint that the shared partition even exists;   
   Windows has never been good at sharing, and each new version seems to be   
   more xenophobic than the last.
