Both are units of data transmission rates through a communication medium. Baud rate signifies symbol rate. How many symbol changes are transmitted per second. Symbols can contain one bit or more (e.g. 3-bit symbols). Bit is smallest unit in digital transmission or digital communication. Bit has only two states but symbols can have more than 2 states. So symbol may may represent more than one binary bit and so baud rate may or may not be equal to bit rate.

baud rate is the rate of symbol changes...symbol can be of 1 bit, 2 bit , 3 bit etc.... Where as frequency is the inverse of rate of lowest unit in a digital transimission...

Winnt.exe is the 16-bit version and Winnt32.exe is the 32-bit version
The most significant difference between the Intel 8085 and 8086 microprocessors is that the 8085 is an 8-bit system and the 8086 is a 16-bit system. This difference allows the 8086 system to have a much larger set of operational instructions and can make calculations to more significant places. Note: the 8085 processor does have two 16-bit registers. The pointer and the program counter.
Hypothetically speaking, this has to do with the molecular bonding of ions between the two compounds. i may be off a little bit.
