You can dual boot Windows and Linux on a Wintel machine. You can't
boot Mac OS on anything but an Apple computer.

A virtual machine isn't dual booting, as you know. On a Windows
computer if you want to run Linux in a virtual machine, you can use
VMware in its various permutations, VirtualBox, and Parallels (I
think--it did have a Windows version but I don't know if development
has continued). You may be able to get a Linux OS into Microsoft's
free Virtual PC, but it doesn't work well. Better to use Virtual Box
or VMware.

Under Linux you can run VirtualPC and VMware, possibly a couple of
others that are obscure. I think there was talk of Parallels for
Linux but I don't know if that ever got off the ground. QEMU used to
be an option under Linux, but I don't know if development is still
continuing. I used to run Win 98SE under QEMU on Linux but newer
kernels created problems. I don't currently have any virtual
machines under Linux.
