If your wanting to have dual booting, the option to have two OS installed on the same machine then yes it is done all the time.

'BackTrack v2.0 and MS Vista, Create Dual Boot Guide' is for Backtrack but is applicable as a general use guide.

If you want to test out a Linux on a M$ Windows machine then you can use a Livecd to see if indeed you want to use a particular distribution.

Another way would be to use a virtual machine using VMware or VirtualBox. This will allow you to have another OS running on the machine in a compatibility layer.
