This works on virtual box with a bit of fiddling.

ha looks like NeXTstep, and windowmaker replicated its feel.. according to wikipedia..  

I had no idea..   I loved Windowmaker for yep its elegant feel & look.

actually IM surprised last stable release of Windowmaker is August 2015

I still use GNUStep/WindowMaker on my little quadcore atom Transformer with 2GB of soldered ram. I love it.

for some reason I stopped using Un*x for workstation purposes.   I didnt like Linux due to dependency hell and love BSD with ports style packages but theres more compatibility and mainstream projects for linux.    Still use it for server side tasks.

Not sure what Linux has to do with this but what is this "dependency hell" you speak of?

GNUStep and Windowmaker are both available for the multiple forks of BSD btw.

Once upon a time (1995-1996) the idea for OS4 was shaped around that model of NeXTSTEP:



That didn't happen, and interestingly, the year after, Steve Jobs came back to Apple, and here we are... :hammer:

That doesn't look too dissimilar to the morphos architecture.
