{{main|Workbench (AmigaOS)}}

'''Workbench''' is the name given to both the core operating system software that is not stored in the Kickstart ROM (the "Workbench disk"), and also the native graphical [[operating system shell|shell]] for the [[Amiga]] computer. The Workbench environment does not have to be loaded for software to run. In fact, to take over the Amiga hardware and keep all memory and resources to themselves, many games boot directly from Kickstart (using a custom ''[[bootblock]]'' on the [[floppy disk]]).

As the name suggests, the [[metaphor]] of a [[workbench]] is used, rather than a desktop; directories are depicted as ''drawers'', executable files are ''tools'', data files are ''projects'' and GUI widgets are ''gadgets''. In many other aspects the interface resembles [[Mac OS]], with the main desktop showing icons of inserted disks and hard drive partitions, and a single menu bar at the top of every screen. Unlike the Macintosh, the standard Amiga mouse has two buttons – the right mouse button operates the pull-down menus, with a Macintosh-style "release to select" mechanism.

 

 

==== Workbench 2.0 user interface improvements ====

Until Workbench 2.0, there was no unified [[look and feel]] design standard — application developers had to write their own widgets (both buttons and menus), with Intuition providing minimal support. With Workbench 2.0 came ''gadtools.library'', which provided standard widget sets, and the ''Amiga User Interface Style Guide'', which explained how applications should be laid out for consistency.

 

 

==AmigaOS influence on other operating systems==

AmigaOS has spawned at least two "clone" operating systems over time.
