OS2 is a windowed, multi-tasking operating system for PC class machines. It's sort of like Windows, but pays a little better attention to multi-tasking, and has direct control of the machinem (as I understand it) - Windows sits on TOP of DOS...) OS9 is a multi-tasking operating system that's very similar to Unix. It was originally for the Motorola 6809 chip, but was later extended to the Motorola 680x0 family. Now they also have a version for 386 and 486 machines called OS-9000.
