How do I run Windows, OS X and Linux simultaneously on an iMac?

You need an emulator program to be able to do this.  But, you are not simultaneously running these OS's, they become virtual computers and run on a lot of memory.  If you don't have 1 Gig of RAM in the iMac, I wouldn't suggest it.\n\nIf you still want to do this, you ust find the program Virtual PC.  Usually, you have to buy it for about $50.  Once you have it, you can run the program and start up virtual PC's and install operating systems.\n\nIf you are really interested in this kind of thing, I would strongly suggest buying a newer computer to do this on, and I'd definitely stick with the Mac.  They run virtual PC's a lot better than junky Windows PC's.  And if you purchase a brand new Intel Mac from Apple, they have a program called Bootcamp that will allow you to choose whether to boot to Mac or Windows, but not both.\n\nSo take that all into consideration, and good luck.

loaded question.\n\nThe crazy thing is that you can run all three on the same hardware!\n\nMac and Linux are both more secure than windows.\nWindows has more avaiable applications than mac and linux.\nLinux is harder to use (for more than webbrowsing and              document creation) then mac and windows.\nMac is probably more stable because they have a very small pool of supported drivers than linux and windows (could also be a con, with less drivers).\nMac and Linux are used than less people, so less likely to have viruses.\nEveryone uses Windows and have to use microsoft stuff to work with the rest of the world.

Buy an intel mac then install windows too and dual boot you can run everything plus osx is beautiful and really never crashes but neither does xp if you have enough memory. You'll need windows for alot of stuff though. The guy who said something about the mouse - try the Mighty Mouse it right clicks and has a scroll ball that lets you scroll in multiple directions - ITS AWESOME

Dear Friend,\n\nAll these configuration is good, try to get IBM and their products and APPLE and their products.\n\nDid u remember before year of 95, two kinds of softwares will be there one for TEXT-Mode (DOS mode) and another GUI-mode (Windows mode) for IBM computers. But not after Windows 95 (OS).\n\nStill there are softwares are available different OS. Like WINDOWS, LINUX, UNIX, HP-UX, SOLARIS. All are not available for MAC.\n\nI think you will get it or mail to me.

Tiger is very cool  Unfortuately, a computer designed for Windows will not recognize the Mac OS.   Sorry.  \n\nThe opposite is not true, however.  You can easily install Windows on any of the new Mac computers, through an included program on the Mac called Boot Camp.  But while Macs will run both Mac OS and Windows, Windows boxes will not run the Mac OS.  \n\nGood luck!!

I don't know if it is possible yet. I would suggest you to do a dual  boot installation. windows on one partition and linux on other.

Handbrake can do it.  Google it.  Yes, it's for Mac.

You could install mac OSX in a virtual machine - then run your programs there.\n\nIt would be a lot of work, and the performance would really suck, but you could do it.\n\nI've included a link to a website with instructions, if you're interested.

I've had great luck with HandBrake on a Mac, pretty good success on the PC, great success on Linux.

Install a USB mouse and a Mouse Port mouse.  I have done that several times, and it has worked every time.  You can even hook up 2 keyboards that way.\n\nA KVM will not work, because that is designed to allow 1 keyboard and mouse to work on 2 different computers.  This problem is the opposite.

Yes, but I don't recommend it, as it would run slowly. You can do as Christopher said and try eBay for a copy of Mac OS 9, but you can also try Linux. A couple of excellent distributions for the iMac are:\n\nYellow Dog Linux\nhttp://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/ydl/\nCheck out this article about Yellow Dog Linux on the iMac:\nhttp://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4067\n\nUbuntu\nhttp://www.ubuntu.com/\nCheck out this tread about installing it on an old iMac:\nhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9750
