Point both OS's versions of Steam at it and both will pick it up (they may download some extra executables etc for the secondary OS, although it won't remove the other ones. | |

You can install your library on as many computers as you want. Since your unable to play all of those games at once it makes sense. Mutliplayer games will require steam not to be in offline mode for obvious reasons. | |

It doesn't say where it is installed though. | |

But as I said, can't confirm with only Windows. | |
