AmigaOS 3.2 is the result of more than 2 years of intense and relentless work from a team of over sixty people who have contributed to produce a new milestone in AmigaOS history.
In 1985 Commodore introduced the Amiga 1000 with Amiga Workbench Version 1.0. Workbench, together with its OS component Kickstart, would later be rebranded to AmigaOS. Initially the Amiga operating system had no strong name and branding, as it was simply considered an integral part of the Amiga system as a whole. The Amiga 1000 needed a Kickstart disk to be inserted into floppy drive to boot up. An image of a simple illustration of a hand on a white screen, holding a blue Kickstart floppy, invited the user to perform this operation. After the kickstart was loaded into a special section of memory called the writable control store, the image of the hand appeared again, this time inviting the user to insert the Workbench disk. Early names used for the Amiga operating system included CAOS and AmigaDOS. As far as the evolution of the GUI goes, Workbench was well and truly ahead of its time, with things such as a recycle bin, proper animated menus, multi-state icons, stereo sound, left-click and right-click menus and the ability to launch more than one application at a time.
