What bakunin is trying to explain is that OS like DOS are understood as an OS where all know on what/how it runs, same goes for Windows... UNIX, since you talk about flavors cannot be compared in the same way: you have many flavors for many architectures.
You can write books (real big ones too...) on UNIX evolution and history...
And for now you have no more one UNIX but SVR4 family and BSD family and UNIX clones (linux...) Which one are you interested in?
Here is the unix genealogy (well almost...)
