Oh please...
Why can't anyone actually admit they are wrong and move on.

Voska, the CD button is ANOLOG, not Digital. The device MUST be digital for an OS to be installed on it. Yes, cells phones, consoles, a few TV's (like the HDTV) can have LIMITED operating system (not an MS one I would hope!). But stereo equipment, televisions, VCR's general do not have an OS. The OS on a DVD is only there to interpret user action and move the scanning heads to the correct spot, so I would even say a DVD does not have an OS.

Perhaps you are confused with a UI - User Interface. All devices have one of these, but an OS is not required for a UI.
