So which part of Windows is the OS? File handling I/O GUI ....
Obviously it's a sum of its parts, as is Z/OS, Z/VM, Linux, Unix...and so on. If a component is removed and renders it useless. it would seem to be, IMHO, that it is germane to the OS. Can you work without JES, or a like function? Not very well.
