No, I am saying that if Compaq suddenly decided that you DID have to buy
Tru64 before you bought OpenVMS, this would NOT change the fact that
OpenVMS is an operating system.
And that seems to be the argument here, the argument is that since you
have to buy NT to run Interix, therefore Interix is not an operating
system. But that's just a marketing choice that Microsoft makes (basically
they assume, no doubt rightly, that no one would run Interix if they did
not also want to run Win32).
