  You didn't understand what I meant.
  I consider tools and applications part of the OS if they come with the
OS distribution when you buy it. That is, you don't have to buy/download
separate 3rd party programs but you can use the ones that came with the
system itself.
  The tools may not be strictly part of the core operating system, but they
are part of the package. In Windows you get almost no tools for efficient
usage of your computer when you buy Windows in the store, while in almost any
Unix package you get lots of useful little tools (which are often quite
closely related to the OS itself). That was what I meant.
