So are you saying operating system is a subclass of platform? I guess but that distinction doesn't seem very useful. It seems more like the term operating system has aged. I'd rather call Windows/Linux a platform instead of an operating system and indeed other people do too. Even then, some people consider it a design smell to consider software a platform. Long story short, semantic arguments aren't interesting and there's no logical argument against calling Sandstorm an operating system.
