Respectfully, Is the distinction important?

macOS and Next Step rely on BSD and the Mach kernel. Android relies on Linux and the dalvik jvm.

Not sure if it's important, but Windows 2 is still fundamentally a graphical shell on top of DOS. I think the Unix parallel would be: is the X Window System an OS?

  Ok. I will play. Is it because you invoke the shell vs having the shell started automatically. Leading to this query:
  Is Windows 95 an operating system ? If not why not. After all it relied on MS-DOS also.
