<operating system> One of the first commercially available
GUIs. Borrowing heavily from the Macintosh WIMP-style
interface it was available for both the IBM compatible
market (being packaged with Amstrad's original PC series)
and more successfully for the Atari ST range. The PC
version was produced by Digital Research (more famous for
DR-DOS, their MS-DOS clone), and was not developed very
far. The Atari version, however, continued to be developed
until the early 1990s and the later versions supported 24-bit
colour modes, full colour icons and a nice looking sculpted
3D interface.
