AmigaOS is an operating system consisting of two parts: the Kickstart ROM, which contained most of the necessary base components for the operating system in a stunningly small amount of space, and Workbench, the GUI layer for the OS, originally contained on a series of floppy discs. Such a dual-layer system may seem odd to more recent adopters of computer technology, but in the days of limited permanent storage, it showed itself to be an ideal way to allow for a complex operating system without compromise. The lastest release for 68k based Commodore Amiga computers was in 2000 when Haage & Partner released AmigaOS 3.9. Today Hyperion entertainment released AmigaOS 3.1.4, offering huge improvements.
