Default Possible to have two os on one computer?

I have been snooping around the web looking for an answer for this question and finally decided that i needed to ask it. I am someone who wants to run Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista Home Premium on one laptop. I have been reading posts on different forums talking about having two hard drives and installing one OS on each hard drive. I have also heard about partitioning the drive. But after many hours spent trying different keywords on Google i still have no idea how to do it. If anyone happens to know how could you please tell me because i am quite befuddled.

You can only put Mac OS X on macs and vista on pc's... unless you use some sort of emulator. Yes you can run multiple os's on one computer by dual booting (such as linux and XP which is what I current have), but not OS X and vista.

You might not be out of luck just yet.

That Leopard OS was supposedly cracked to run on PC's. Maybe a Google search will reveal more about it.
