Install Windows first.  One partition 98GB for Windows (should be enough).  Another partition 100GB for Slackware (this much isn't needed, but tis nice to have) and then 2gb of linux-swap.

It doesn't matter which one he installs first.  Windows XP installation can partition unallocated space without damaging the already allocated partitions.
Windows overwrites LILO with it's own startup, so it's easier to install Linux last.

So I guess it depends on which one he'd want to use by default? :P

LILO reads both Windows and Linux... it lets you pick whichever one you want to boot up with.

Technically it overwrites your MBR. If you selected the option to write LILO to disk as opposed to the MBR you'll be fine.
