Because, then, you lose all the (few) security options available to WinXP, not to mention the suicidal tendencies of the FAT32 system in Windows. There's a number of practical reasons to use a spare FAT32 partition between the two OSs, simplicity being just one of them. An alternative is to make a spare EXT3 partition, and use an EXT3 driver to access it through Windows. I'd still recommend a separate partition, rather than letting Windows romp through your entire Linux installation. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
