Well, Hope you didn't think you were actually going to get information about Micro$oft. That company that doesn't even know how to make a 32-bit OS, until it is very appearent they can't get enough from their already sorry set of OSs (MS-DOS and Windows) and applications. If you want a decent OS take a look at FreeBSD or if you need a GUI, take a look at OS/2 Warp from IBM.
