At Ease in Mac OS 9
Built-in support for multiple users was implemented into Mac OS 9, bringing all of the features straight into the Mac OS and thus eliminating the need to install and use a different environment.
Even though At Ease was discontinued, certain aspects of its user interface appear in later versions of Mac OS. For example Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 included the Platinum interface theme, which resembles At Ease. Its influence upon iOS, Apple's operating system for iPhone and iPad devices, has also been noted. There is also a similarity to the productivity-enhancing Launcher Control Panel, in Mac OS 7 and 8. In OS X, the Simple Finder is very similar to the idea of At Ease.

Famous quotes containing the word ease:
“In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
