you could even tripleboot those, but you need to have a properly partitioned hdd (i think osx needs a primary partition aswell?) and install in the right order to avoid messing up the boot loaders (windows -> os x -> linux imo, dont quote me on this though)

win/linux should be easy, but osX might be a bit of a hassle, could always simply virtualbox them :XD

I don't think the bootloaders really matter in OSX because it uses an EFI chip which can handle that stuff as far as I know.

E: Oh scratch that, I got the OP the wrong way round.

A:Not sure but you should ask Google

Q:If yes, is it also possible to get windows and linux running on the same pc?
A:Yes it is. 2 partitions with 2 OSs or in virtual machine.

Yeah, really easy to do. Check out Grub! I use this at bootup every day.

As for the OSX question, it is really hardware dependent, and if you have the correct items, mainly the CPU, then it is possible. Google will hold more answers though.

Win und Linux ist nicht so schwer.Nimm für Anfang Ubuntu, Mint oder vielleicht Fedora, da dieser bei der Installation deine Festplatte automatisch partitionieren, sofern du kein Plan von manueller Partitionierung hast. Was ich denke, wenn du Umsteiger bist. Und der Bootloader Grub entscheidet welches System du bootest.

Und bei MAC ist es glaub ich schwieriger, wegen der Architektur. MAC läuft glaub ich auf der keiner x86 bzw. x64 Machine

Edit: Ich sehe gerade, seit OS X 10.4 läuft es auch auf x86

You can do it, google osx86, but's really bad & has a high fail rate. The hardware just isn't designed for it. Buy a Mac if you want a Mac.
