But as it was explained to me by a very nice guy, an operating system
is built of three components.  The core, the GUI and the command
interface.  Of all these, only the last is Unix-based.

Well, I do believe Mac OS X is built along those lines.  "An operating
system" in general may or may not be; indeed, plenty of operating
systems do not have anything at all that could reasonably be called a
GUI, much less structure like what you sketch.

Don't be nit-pickerish.
