I think we were actually talking about Linux as an operating system, not as just a kernel. That should have been obvious.
In fact, I said Gnome came with it by default (which is true). Gnome is a desktop manager that is used by various Linux distributions. I suspect KDE and xfce also have multiple desktop features by default to.
Anyway, why are you arguing my point? I already said I suspect Windows will put it in at a later date. The reason why it should be a default feature is because the OS maker can program it to work with the OS properly, so it is perfectly inbuilt rather than an external program. This is especially a good idea for Windows since it is closed source. I'd much prefer a version of Windows with this as an inbuilt feature rather than a version of Windows and a program that just sits on top and does it.
Oh, and as for your "a Linux based system can be anything because it's "just" a collection of programs", surely the same can be said of any OS? At the end of the day, an OS is a load of programs working together, including Windows.
