HTTP was created while Sir Tim was still working at CERN.

Which is what I think traditional UNIX users usually think of when
they think of UNIX, isn't it?

Apache, X, SSH and TCP all happily run on non-UNIX systems. The UNIX
command-line tools are what makes UNIX UNIX.

Besides, the FSF have long had a very successful complete operating
system in emacs. The only bit that's missing (still!) is a decent text
editor.
