Hi,
I have been keeping this question for a long time trying to better understand what is the real name of the operating system developed by Amiga / Commodore!
Basically when I was a child I always remember that the name was "Workbench", i.e. - Workbench 2.1, Workbench 3.1, etc. At that age I never heard my brother or cousin refer to the os as AmigaOS 2.1 or AmigaOS 3.1 - it was always Workbench.
Then when I came to the community I started to see that 4.0 and 4.1 (and to some extent also 3.9) was mostly referred to as AmigaOS. At first I thought nothing of this, and considered this just a name change due to the fact that Amiga moved hands.
However then when reading wikipedia I see that is was always referred to as AmigaOS from version 1.0.
So my question is; Was AmigaOS ever referred to officially as Workbench? Or Workbench is just part of the OS? i.e. the environment?
