It's "Amiga" OS, and the dock was never a standard part of Amiga OS when NeXTSTEP or OPENSTEP was on the market.

Oh, and the rest of the UI is descended from the macintosh, which was designed by most of the same people. Since the concept of the GUI was licensed from xerox by apple in exchange for shares, nobody ripped off anything. Except Commodore-Amiga. Oops!

This pre-dates Amiga OS 3.9 by at least a decade so the dock could not have been ripped off.

"You can have your PC apps, next to your *good* apps, running apps side by side."

I see what you did there, Steve.

Pretty cool especially if you take into account how old all of this is.

There was NEVER in the ENTIRE HISTORY of the Amiga, a 68040 based machine that sold for only $500. 

[gamewizard]

This was far ahead of anything Apple, Microsoft, Sun or the Linux community was doing in those days.

Sounds more to me like he wasn't even born yet when the NEXT computer was invented.

[gamewizard]

Ummm...when did Apple leave the computer business? The Macintosh is still in production in 2013. I suggest you stop posting in public forums because your ignorance is showing and everyone is laughing at you.

The 68030 and 68040 Macs were inferior compared to the NEXT Cubes and NEXT Stations.The NEXTStep OS came out during the days of System 6 and basically destroyed it. NEXTStep was way ahead of the curve in OS developments, ahead of Apple, ahead of Microsoft,ahead of Sun, ahead of any version of Linux that may have been around at the time.

[gamewizard]

AmigaOS 3.9=December 1999, NEXTStep 1.0=September 1989 (there was actually a prelease version 0.8 that was released a year earlier), so who's the ripoff?
