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!?
NEXTSTEP operating system, 1986
Arthur operating system, 1987

Apple got their dock thru NEXTSTEP btw ;-)

CAB files can use three kinds of compression. Which of them came from AOS: Deflate, LZX, Quantum?

Considering amiga has a compression tool called LZX, which one you'd think? :)
