Until 3.5 release AmigaOS always came divided in two parts, Kickstart and the Workbench.

Whilst Windows Vista is intended to be a technologies-based release, with some added UI sparkle (in the form of the Aero set of technologies and guidelines), Blackcomb is targeted directly at revolutionizing the way we interact with our home and office PCs. For instance, the "Start" philosophy, introduced in Windows 95, may be completely replaced by the "new interface" which was said in 1999 to be scheduled for Blackcomb, before being moved to the Lo ...
