No. Even though modern Macs use Intel chipsets, they have different motherboards. They don't have a BIOS, and they have a security chip built in to verify that it's Mac hardware.
There have been many attempts at creating emulators to allow Mac OS to run on non-Mac hardware. Since they're illegal, Apple shuts them down pretty quickly. So while they're out there, they are primitive and lack hardware support and drivers, which makes the experience very unpleasant.
So the bottom line is that if you want the Mac OS, you have to buy a Mac. The Mac Mini starts at only $600.00.

You can do it, but I haven't seen a computer with both OS's running on the same computer. You would have to make sure that you have the version of mac that runs Intel and you might have to do some fiddling with some of the settings to get it just right. However it isn't really worth it to put mac on your pc because it really slows down your computer.

It relies upon on which Linux distro you propose on setting up. maximum Linux distors are updateable yet they have distinctive tactics. the suitable technique is Synaptic which exams which library information you require earlier it installs something. working example that's priceless to to receive software X, yet software X additionally has dependancies and calls for libraries Y and Z beofre it may function so Synaptic will receive Y and Z as properly. Downloads are no longer somewhat as computerized as say domicile windows updates. you may desire to run some thing like Synaptic manually to work out if the equipment desires updating. Drivers are particularly distinctive. working example in case you have a printer then do a Google seek for: Linux printer and style call drivers and receive the suitable driving force. domicile windows and Lixux might desire to be put in on a distinctive partitons on the comparable trickychronic as they're incompatible working structures.

No, it can't be done. Experts have been trying for years.
OS X on Mac ONLY runs on Apple hardware.
If you have an INTEL Mac, you can run Windows XP using Boot Camp or Parallels.

No, no, and no.
While it's true that latest Macs are based on Intel CPUs, they still have proprietary ROM and Chipset that PC's don't have. Thus, Mac software will NOT run on a PC, PERIOD, not until Apple reprograms the whole O/S.
