Do the 16-bit and 32-bit classifications of operating systems have any necessary connection with the processor classifications of 16, 32, and the newly released 64-bit?

Can I understand it this way: the operating system Microsoft is going to release to support AMD64 chips is a 64-bit operating system?

If not, then how are the 16 and 32 of an operating system defined?
