Yes, I multi boot on a Windows badged Computer with Win7, Apple and Linux.

While initially experimenting I found that if a system carries both the Intel Dual Core, or Core I?, and either Windows Vista or Windows 7 compliance stickers it seems to work OK with the Apple OS. If not - i.e., some of the older Pentium/XP-Pro badged systems that do not have those particular Widows compliance stickers, they seem to be problematic with an Apple OS. Not enough dual core drivers to patch things in smoothly.

Doing this makes it easy for those fairly rare occasions where I need the Apple OS. Another simple way of going about things is with some of the systems that have a removable Sata drive bay. Just swap and boot. Those drive bay conversion kits are quite cheap nowadays.
