The operating system has nothing to do with the FrontSide Bus speed.
Nothing at all. In any way.

The only effect the operating system MIGHT have is in the amount of
memory used; but that is a difference you might see between DOS and,
say, Windows 2000 or later.

Win2000 is better to OC with as XP can get screwed up by messing with the
FSB, 2k never has, as far as I and a lot of others have found, there is a
post about this in the rebels haven forums. 2k is also faster, not by
much, but it is.

Vista spends so much time checking on the voltage ripple and every other
thing that you loose any power you might gain from any OC. The best thing
is to stick with XP or Win2000, Win2000 has the longer support life time.
