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.
