While I see no particular reason why you couldn't, the vast difference in hardware requirements and supported devices make finding a system that would both run Windows 95 to a useful extent and provide acceptable performance for Windows Vista extremely difficult. For instance, Windows 95 has sever problems with larger amounts of RAM, and probably won't boot with more than 490 MB installed (you can work around it after Windows 95 is installed.) Few graphics cards support both Windows 95 and Windows Vista (the GeForce 6 series is the only exception I can think of). USB support is only found in certain versions of Windows 95, and none at all for USB 2.0. Windows 95 doesn't support SATA controllers. Most wireless cards won't work. And so on, and so on...
Bottom line: if you absolutely must run Windows 95, do it in a virtual machine.
