Relation between JVM and different operating system

That's a really strange question to ask,

because surely you see the difference

when you load them.

For example, most machines run Windows.

And you then tell Windows to load JVM.

And you then tell JVM to load a Java program.

It's like this:

Hardware -> OS -> JVM -> Java programs

You can't run any Java programs without first loading a JVM.

And currently, there are no (popular/successful) JVM that can run without an OS.
