Me, I'd say that neither is an operating system ;)

Anyway, I think that a good rule of thumb to qualify a software piece as a
operating system is "does the  boot in it?". In the case of XEmacs, it
obviously doesn't. In the case of Windows... errr... that's it, Windows is a
windows manager, not a operating system.
