A strict definition of what is an Operating System would be something like: "Software that controls the operation of the functionality of computer hardware and provides an Application Programming Interface for applications to use to get access to these operations." By this definition, most commercial OSes would fail as being only Operating Systems. They all include what I would consider applications. MSFT's OSes are the worst offenders of the separation of OS from application, to the detriment of customers. If they had a properly layered approach that separated Operating System from Utility software and applications, customers would be better off.
