You may have misperception what OS is. Most of people never access OS, just use provided utilities which are not really part of OS. OS is just a kernel and basic, supporting libraries. One can create any user environment on top of this. This is why we can have Cygwin imitating UNIX environment in the Windows OS. One could drastically change OS without most users never noticing it. What we commonly call UNIX are utilities that give that environment a specific flavor.
