Not really, quark is a micro kernel, thus not an OS in itself. You can't campare it to Linux, where the kernel kind of *is* the OS. The fact that almost all OS components, drivers, file systems, SW etc shares the same memory space (something that obviously is against a true micro kernel concept) does not reduce it to an "environment" that is hosted on top of another OS. Quark *is* a MorphOS component, and AFAIK there are actually a few MorphOS "service threads" that runs in their own Quark memory spaces (or "boxes" if you like) alongside the "A-Box".
