You would be suggesting that Windows does not qualify as an Operating
System? I've heard it described as a Computer Virus with a GUI Interface.
:-) But in fairness, at least Windows provides lots of primitives that would
help support an Ada program without having the compiler supply its own RTK.
How well they work and how well they fit Ada's needs are, quite naturally,
debatable.
