(Note: text might be an exception to the above, although I'm not actually certain. A big question is what constitutes the O/S? For instance, most, if not all, versions of Windows include Notepad. Let's say they all do, for argument's sake. Does that make it a part of the O/S? I'd say no-because you can delete it & the O/S will still work. But others might say yes because all versions come with it. Dealer's choice, I guess.)
LOL, ok you got me on semantics. Yes, the O/S supports the reading software and the software supports the format.
