AmigaOS 4
Zombie9920:
Look at these AmigaOS 4 screenshots. Is it just me or does it look kinda like MacOS X without Aqua, Quartz and Mac style icons(more like Linux style icons)?
Personally, I think it looks terrible.

Meh, as long as it gets the job done...
On the plus side it probably needs very little computing horsepower to run.

Many people loved the Amiga, and still do today. It had 4096 colours and 3d and other graphical capabilities which no computer can reproduce even today. And that was in 1985, when PC's were running DOS and Macintoshes were in black and white. There was a time where there were more Amiga games than PC games, many of which were ported from the Amiga. The interface, however, was terrible. About as ugly, if not uglier, than Windows 1.0 (although much more functional).

The one below is Workbench 3.0, shortly after the release of Windows 3.0:

I haven't used an Amiga, but I'm sure it has its merits. After all, it was thanks to sheer love for the Amiga platform that it still lives today, despite the demise of Commodore.

It would be nice if we could get more operating systems that were user friendly besides os ten, windows and all those many flavors of linux.
I wish i could go to the store and have 20 different kick ass operating systems to choose from. But no ...
I wish i could go back in time and prevent microsoft from gaining a monopoly.
Faust:
It doesn't look that bad, just minimalist. And the brightness needs a bit of upping... Ah brings back fond memories of my Amiga 600... "left click to continue, right click to abort." [sigh]
