There would be many different ways to skin this cat in plain html
(without javascript).
Why not the simplest possible approach? "What OS is the customer
using? is on one page. If XP is chosen, this is a link that takes
you to a page with further questions.
You have as many pages as is practical. You do not have to assume
from this that you must put one alternative per page. This would
be extremely irritating in fact! It is quite likely you can,
without confusion at all, show a few routes on the same page. For
example:
Not necessarilly just:
XP, Mac? (both links)
but maybe
XP Pro, XP Home, Mac pre X, Mac X .... (all links)
How you organise and layout will be defined by the particular
circumstances. You will put in as much on each page as will not
cause confusion to the not-too-far-below-average-in-intelligence
