Answer / v.sridhar
Windows 98 operates on a DOS platform, which means that
when the user clicks on an icon, a code string in Microsoft
Disc Operating System is executed, which initiates the
process the user has selected. Further commands in DOS are
performed, until the process is completed.
Windows 2000NT is supposedly the flavor of Windows 2000
which does not run on a DOS platform, but instead, on an NT
platform, which is the new operating system that Microsoft
developed to replace DOS. DOS was developed specifically
for an early processer, the Intel 8088, and its internal
architecture was based upon the capabilities of that
processor. The X86 processers are descendents of the 8088,
but the 586 was the last of that style of processers. NT is
supposedly superior for multitasking, serial bus
operations, and addressing memory locations, among other
things.

In the Operating System Era the First OS invented By
Microsoft is DOS and then second stage is Windows
But in DOS (disk operating system).
The main difference bet those os is
1. Dos is NON GUI o/s
2. The windows 3.1 is Operating system environment
3. again Wind 3.11 is also Operating system environment
4. and Windows 95 is also Operating system environment
The above all Operating system environment is DOS base
runing is not required for Himem those tequired only basic
five types of file those file's r requried in DOS mode...
i.e. Autoexe.Bat, IO.SYS, Command.com,Config.sys,
MSDOS.SYS..
Those filed contains all configuration of dos.
and then Come on windows 98 o/s. Win 98 is Not os
enviornment but included DOS, Those version not required
dos to run
and then Win NT is come on market is basically made for
Network user..... @ that time people useing dos that time
dos not having the network capabilities that time people
use Novel software for network... But next Microsoft take
over novel and introduce WIN-NT with network capabilities...
and then caome to WIN XP is Pure operating System with in
built NT and 98 capabilites and Windows Server 2000 with
Network DOmain capabilites for netwrok Security...
and then Win Vista is come on market but win vista required
heavy memory support for running on system....
in the era of O/S many concept r changes like Multitasking
and Networking capabilites.....
