A minor point.

     Rather than being dropped at operating system, she is
     dropped into the office automation program (or shell).

One isn't dropped into an operating system, one is dropped into
a command processor.  An operating system is a program which
allocates memory, manages files, does I/O and so on.  The
command processor is the usual user interface to it but is by
no means the only one.  ITS puts you into a debugger; the Xerox
Star puts you into a desk top graphical top level.
