Different people have different opinions on what distro is best. That's why there are so many. Ubuntu is the most popular distro, due mainly to it's shipping of free CDs, but it is not the only one. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, PCLinuxOS, Mandriva, Freespire, and OpenSUSE are all widely regarded as easy to use / learn. I suggest trying as many distros as you can, to get a feel for the wide variety, and see what you like or don't like in each of them.
As far as hardware support goes, it's pretty much universal across all major distributions. So none is better or worse suited for your hardware. Due to your processor, you will not be able to use any 64-bit distros.
Any operating system that you can run on a desktop can run on a laptop as long as the hardware requirements are met. Installation procedure is similar to the one on a desktop. This applies to Windows, Linux and Mac
There's no hard limit on the number of operating systems you can install. The limit will be dictated by the number of operating systems that support your hardware and the amount of space on your hard drive(s).
If one or of the operating systems does not cooperate well with dual-booting (such as Windows with a Linux distribution), then you should install the troublesome operating system first. If both are well-behaved (such as two Linux distributions) then it does not generally matter.
Installing Linux is quite easy if you follow the instructions. You must first download Wubi, choose the installation size and select from 1 of 4 desktop environments. Choose your language and select a user name and password. Select install and you're done!

This shouldn't be a problem normally, since you paid for a copy of that OS. The operating system should have drivers for the desktop, and it should install onto the desktop without any problems
The exact same way that you would install the same eMail on a desktop, running the same operating system as is on that laptop.
Since you didn't specify what operating system, or if it's mobile or desktop, it's way too broad a question.
No, as it has no real operating system (os). If you do wish to run desktop applications, I would install windows 7 starter, as it has a small file size, but large capabilities.
Firstly, if you do not already have Parallels for Mac OS X, you can get it by going to http://www.parallels.com/uk/download/desktop/ and clicking either Download or Try Now. If you click Try Now, you can try Parallels for a short time before buying it. If you have downloaded Parallels, browse to the folder where it has been downloaded and double-click it. Follow the instructions to install it. If you have a CD with Parallels on it, insert it into your Mac's DVD drive and follow the instructions from there. Once you have installed Parallels Desktop, you will need to install an operating system of choice. Please note you will need a CD and a valid license for the operating system you are choosing to install as this does not come with Parallels. Once you have this, follow the instructions on-screen to install the operating system, and when this is done you can run it from within a window on your Mac OS X Desktop
