Yeah, I was kind of curious what definition Warp was using, given that 
Merriam-Webster, Wikipedia, the people who coined the term "operating 
sytem", and the people who wrote MS-DOS, all seem to agree that MS-DOS would 
be an operating system.

Of course, we all know what it does and doesn't do, so exactly what it's 
called isn't very relevant, methinks.
