But it is equally ridiculous either way, when 80+% is neither GNU nor Linux code. Calling it an xwindow system would make more sense. Or perhaps a firefox/thunderbird/openoffice.org system - with most of the other parts interchangeable.

If you're talking about a distribution, then I suppose it's fine. When you refer to the *operating system*, though, that's a different story. GNU/Linux is an operating system. It implements a defined operating system interface. Linux, by itself, is not an operating system.
