Actually no. The disruptive aspect was supposed to be price and pace of development.
I suppose that's a fair assessment, ultimately price didn't matter since OEM licenses for Windows were so cheap that people wouldn't even notice the cost built in to the PC and while there has always been a lot of development going on it hasn't been particularly unified so there is a lot of duplicated effort in order to do a bunch of things in slightly different ways.
