AmigaOS and OS/2?

[mcostanza]

Something I was thinking lately is whether Microsoft copied an idea from magic workbench for their Windows7!? In this programs can be started from BIG icons on the taskbar. This is very similar to Magic Workbench; http://www.sasg.com/pic/mwb_preview.gif

However I am not sure if maybe this idea was copied from somewhere else before!?

This feature was available previously in the NeXT OS GUI.
