DOS family is divided into bebrapa classes, namely:
1. MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System), including the Tandy DOS, Compaq DOS, Q-DOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) and several clones of MS-DOS operating systems are sold to makers of computer systems IBM PC / Compatible .
2.IBM PC-DOS (International Business Machines Personal Computer Disk Operating System), which, though still made by Microsoft, modified a little to be used by IBM PC computer.
3.DR-DOS (Digital Research Disk Operating System), created by the makers of the operating system CP / M, Gary Kildall.
4.Novell Personal Netware, the DR-DOS version that was sold to Novell as the company that houses the CP / M is bankrupt (Novell acquired Digital Research Incorporated).

Currently, the Windows NT-based operating systems only support the Intel 80x86 platform, the Intel IA64 and AMD64 (or x64), while other platforms are not supported anymore, given the lack of support from third parties for the processor.
WINDOWS 98
Windows 98 is the operating system Microsoft Windows released on June 25, 1998. Windows 98 is a development of Windows 95, and then forwarded by Windows Me. Period ended his full support July 11, 2006
