[QUOTE="BIOS, post: 367748, member: 15674"] I'd like to see that lol. I didn't change my position whatsoever between my posts, lol? If you actually read one of the linked posts, you'd have seen I was discussing the matter from two point of views since the thread was split due to being off-topic from the original question. One being the technical and correct reference, "kernel" while the other is the none technical but most commonly used and simple term "OS". I was referring to Linux as an OS as that is how it is advertised, in technical terms Linux is the kernel, in simple terms used by many it is easier to refer to it as an OS which is why I was also referring to it as an OS in the first place since in the original thread it wasn't appropriate to go into technical terms. I also previously provided a number of examples where other services refer to Linux as an OS due to the exact same simplicity reasons. If you'd have read the thread, the original post wanted a simple answer whether or not users though there'd be a new OS in the near future, I replied "Windows, OSX, and Linux are the main ones". It DIDN'T ask for a full technical background detail of every operating system, replying to the thread with this is simply off topic and of no use to the thread's question. [/QUOTE]
