If MS-DOS is an OS, even though it doesn't do most things that OSs should do,
a hypervisor doesn't seem so far off.  

And if you consider the way CMS runs under VM, then VM is even more OS-like.
VM does login/logout, disk space allocation, spooling, accounting, and probably
a few other OS things that I forgot.

And with a little work, you can run programs directly, without CMS in between,
not so much different than the way MS-DOS runs programs.
