There is one free version of windows(sorta). Microsoft hyper v server 2008. It has no explorer and may not let you install drivers for a video card i have not tried. however you can load pleanty of vm's on top of it if you're willing to work through a command line.

Yes they do have free products (IE, Defender, Live), but without a *paid* windows OS you can't use them, so it's not quite the same comparison.

I just want to know is there a free microsoft windows os?
Only if you pirate it. Otherwise, it's always paid for, either hidden in the cost of a full system or as a standalone retail copy.
Yes and no.
You can get a "free" copy with the purchases of some OEM systems. But that's about it.
