If you replace every function in an OS with a function from another OS, is it still the same OS?
You can even have X-window, KDE and console with six different shells and other assorted utilities running under Windows. It is some time since I had that running, so I do not know how those things run under Windows 8 or even Windows 10 [just to get back to the topic ]

There is even AndLinux. Linux kernel [project colinux] - with Ubuntu system on the top - running as a Windows binary.
