What is an Operating System?[edit]

For example, is Microsoft Windows an operating system? Or is Microsoft Windows a class of operating systems (Microsoft Windows is a subclass of operating system, with instances Windows 99, Windows XP, etc.)? I am always in favor of individual entities being as granular as possible (meaning that I favor the latter suggestion) but Wikidata does not currently define things this way.
