Palm Pre - Root Access 

I believe on the mac there are system tools in your application folder. You should be able to do the same thing in windows with cygwin to make command typing easier.

NO! You have to have a Unix or Unix-like operating system, you can use a Mac, but you can also use GNU/Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora) and there are programs for Windows that let you basically emulate a Unix shell (called GNU Bash on GNU/Linux) I believe the program is called PuTTY. You could just use a Ubuntu LiveCD (which runs the OS but doesn't install it).
