>Is Microsoft Windows 95 a true, real operating system?

I think that Microsoft gets away with calling Win '95 an operating system
because Windows '95 is a combination of MSDOS7 and Windows 4.0. Together, 
they equal Win '95. MSDOS7 is an OS, Win 4.0 is not. I realize that this 
doesn't directly answer your question, so try this. The GUI is not an OS. 
Windows '95 is. Make sense?
