This article by Shane Schick looks at changes Steve Ballmer should consider making at Microsoft now that Bill Gates is out the door. A couple of the most interesting: making user education a priority and establishing an open source project.

bzzt, wrong!
By metonymy Linux is the name of the whole OS as well as the kernel.
Of course, you knew that. You also knew that pointing out what you did adds nothing to the discussion and shows you to be one of those RMS morons or Slashdot idiots. I am *so* glad we have people like you around.

Metonymy is a figure of speech and while people may choose to refer to Linux as the whole OS, that doesn't make it so. Linux is the Kernel. Ubuntu, RedHat, Slackware, and so on, are the distributions.
You can believe accuracy is the mark of a pillock if you choose. You'll be wrong, but the choice is yours nonetheless.

Linux isn't an operating system though, it's a kernel.
