If you're referring to a virtualised Mac OS, running on a different version of a Mac OS, then the answer is no. Although VMWare is currently working on a solution to allow you to virtualise 10.5 Leopard Server on 10.5 Leopard client.

yes you can with vmware fussion 2 and with oracle virtualbox....easy, cheap and pretty

Windows is an operating system for computers it is not a type of computer. Mac OS X can legally only be installed on a computer made by Apple. The Windows operating system can be purchased and installed on any suitable computer including Apple's.

Your question is too vague, but if you meant if you can run Windows on an Apple computer instead of Mac OS the answer is yes. You can either use Bootcamp (for dual-booting), which is pre-installed on all new macs, or you can use virtualization software (to run Windows inside of Mac OS) like VMware Fusion or Parallels. You have to have your own copy of Windows to install however. None of the above programs come with any OS.

How do you downgrade from Mac OS X to Mac OS 9?

You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
