AmigaOS is well and updated, thank you for asking |

So the changed the name of Workbench at 3.5? Is that when people started calling it AmigaOS? I had never heard of AmigaOS before coming here. I always knew it as Amiga Workbench. Why don't they call it Amiga Workbench anymore?

I don't remember hearing it called Amiga OS until they announced OS4. It was Workbench and whatever associated kickstart before then. Perhaps is a regional thing?

It is called/sold as Amiga OS since 3.1. Yes, the space between Amiga and OS is on purpose. The version without space (AmigaOS) since 3.5. _________________ X1000|II/G4|440ep|2000/060|2000/040|1000 |

I will cite my reply in the AmigaOS Twenty-Five news thread:
Name "AmigaOS" (or more often "Amiga OS") is commonly used from early 1990s (look at usenet discussions from 1990/1991). See eg. this thread from May 1990. Here Dave Haynie speaks about "Amiga OS" in May 1989. To cite also Andy Finkel (December 1986): "let's discuss the misuse of the term AmigaDos to describe the entire Amiga OS. That should be interesting, yea, that's the ticket."

I already have a Quad-Core Opteron Linux box. That should answer your opinion. |

Not that I see why it would matter if OS4 was the first release to use the name "Amiga OS".
Prior to that;

AmigaOS refers to the whole package, i.e. back in the day you had seperate floppies for Workbench, Fonts, Locale, Extras, Install, plus Kickstart on the ROM chip. These days it all these parts of the OS come on the one CD-ROM, hence 'AmigaOS'. Workbench is a part of the OS rather than the OS itself and always has been.Last edited by gtmooya on 11-May-2011 at 10:06 PM.

This thread is seriously going astray. If it continues, this will be locked as it is no longer serving a purpose.

Actually it was called Amiga Operating System and OS was short for Operating System. Since it is copyrighted and that in itself protects titles of computer software. At the same time Amiga and Workbench are/were registered trademarks.
So, it really doesn't matter. Hyperion is a licensee and Amiga is the owners of the trademarks and using the Amiga name associated with an operating system is ultimately that of the trademark owner not the licensee which the owner can revoke any license agreement at will of choice.
Then Hyperion would simply have to change name of the title and remove any non-Commodore-Amiga / Amiga Inc. code that is ownership of Amiga Inc.
Oh well... big deal.

So where did the name "Workbench" go? When I worked at an Amiga shop in the late 80's early 90's, we always called it Workbench... i.e. Amiga Workbench 3.1 was the last Amiga OS I remember using.
