How do you install Mac OS and Windows in the same computer? How does it work? Do you install them in completely separate partitions, only 1 OS can run at a time, only 1 partition is visible at a time, like common x86 Boot Manager? Or does Windows run on top of Mac OS?

there is a thread at the top....
if you use Bootcamp to install, it is a normal dual boot system, like a dual bot Linux/Windows or anything else...
If you use a virtual machine product (VMWare, VirtualBox, or Parallels), then a virtual machine runs on top of OSX and you can run Windows or any other OS at the same time.... the problem with that is its a virtual machine, not a real one, so there can be major performance loss, so its not good for everything.
