No... The programs that are written for NT systems are programmed differently and
have requirements that Win 9X can't provide.
When you do find programs that can run on both, it's only because the installer can
select the proper files and configure the software to run in either one. When the
software maker doesn't include the proper files and setup for either type of operating
system, then you are may be able to run some Win 9X software through compatibility
mode so that NT can simulate a Win9X environment. Doing it the other way around
is impossible for the most part as Win 9X hasn't the ability and the required system
componants or the system construction to simulate a W2K/XP/Vista environment.

Yes Dan its called a dual boot system. You have WinME on one drive and WinXP on another
and you choose which drive you want to load depending on what programs you want to
run.
@CK
It depends who makes these programs. I make programs that run on any Windows system
even Windows 3.1 if you have it installed.

Yes, if you design it that way, but Win 9X support is being dropped in major applications
more all the time. The old ways of programming are falling by the wayside, security
reasons being one of many. Kind of along the same line as DOS support being more
limited in Vista 32 bit than it is in XP and totally gone in Vista 64 bit. If the
operating system doesn't support it, no way will it run "natively". Notice I said
"natively".. ;-)
