I think the others said it nicely, but those cpu's are all part of the x86 family, I believe. They all have similar instructions. So, windows and linux,for example can run on a variety of systems. Each of them, of course has a bunch of options that the others don't. It's pretty simple actually. BTW, I'd like to mention HAL only exists in NT based systems. It wasn't around in the 16 bit windows, windows 95, windows 98, ect...
