Amiga OS Versions
There have been many different versions of the AmigaOS operating system during its two decades of history.
Initially the Amiga operating system had no strong name and branding, as it was seen as an integral part of the Amiga system as a whole. Early names used for the Amiga operating system included "CAOS" and "AmigaDOS". Another non-official name was "Workbench", from the name of the Amiga Desktop environment, which was included on a floppy disk named "Amiga Workbench".
Version 3.1 of the Amiga operating system was the first version to be officially referred to as "Amiga OS" (with a space between "Amiga" and "OS") by Commodore, possibly inspired by Apple renaming the Mac operating system from "System" to "Mac OS".
Version 4.0 of the Amiga operating system was the first version to be branded as a less generic "AmigaOS" (without the space).
What many consider the first versions of AmigaOS (Workbench 1.0 up to 3.0) are here indicated with the Workbench name of their original disks.

Famous quotes containing the word versions:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
