No. The operating system is actually never 'used' (that is, by the person using the computer). Essentially, the operating system provides a set of tools that applications use to run. The operating system is also responsible for ensuring that the tools are used properly, to prevent one application from causing problems for a different application, or for other areas of the computer.
The operating system aspect of "Windows" is actually a very small part of the package you have running on your computer, and is usually referred to by computer folks as the kernel. Windows is a collection of applications that are interacted with both by the operating system, by each other, and by applications installed after Windows, to provide you with the various functions you're familiar with on your computer.
