I'm just picky about maintaining purity of the term "OS".

If "OS" can include WebKit and Lua and anything with a file API and an interpreter then "OS" just means "an abstraction" and I don't need two words for the same thing

Like, Chrome is not an OS, no matter how big a bonus someone at Google got for that clever bit of marketing.
