Different hardware systems might have a different size for
an integer. you might get a different number in different
OS because the hardware running the OSes were different to
begin with. also, the "sizeof" command is actually a
compile-time command calculated by the compiler (see
wikipedia on sizeof)
So strictly speaking, its the hardware (or processor) that
determines the size of an integer.
