You mean like Window$ always used to be just an application running on 
top of DOS?

That's the way Window$ always used to be back in the days before 
Micro$oft degraded their OS and made it much worse than it already was.

Nowadays with the newer versions of Window$ you can't even keep the
Window$ shut to prevent the bugs from flying in.
