What is the difference between windows 98/2000/XP Operating
Systems?

Answer Posted / 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.
