OS90 was the pre-release name of Geoworks Ensemble. Geoworks is the company
which used to be Berkeley Softworks, which accomplished similar miracles with
their GEOS OS for the C-64. It is very cool! I was impressed with the power of
the imaging model (full PostScript-like power, outline fonts, etc). And
performance was pretty good too.
