Is Microsoft Word an Operating System?

Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:

No. Word is not an operating system.

An operating system is Windows, Linux, Android (See: operating system).

Word, on the other hand, is simply an application or program (See: application), a text editor-type program.

Word, like any application, runs within an operating system, usually Windows.

But there are also versions of Word that run on other operating systems like MacOS.
