This just seems to be mostly a copy of the WB section of the AmigaOS article. It could do with some more detail. Firthy 01:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Workbench is really just the desktop of AmigaOS, does it really need a separate section? Maybe even it is less than this. Since AmigaOS 3.5, they stopped calling it workbench. It's really silly. Really.
And what happened to all the info about AmigaOS 4. This is the current release but there is hardly any info here, or at AmigaOS or at Amiga. Strange?? 59.167.243.34 (talk) 00:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Thre was question (from Xorxos) regarding integration of Cairo in OS4.1. I hope this link will answer it: http://friedenhq.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47:porterduff-image-composition-part-1&catid=34:amigaos&Itemid=56 Pavlor (talk) 22:01, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
I believe "Workbench 5 by Commodore USA" has nothing to do in this article which is about the "Workbench" in AmigaOS, except that it shares the same name. Workbench 5 by Commodore USA belong to its own article, if any. Or what do you think, should it be included in this article?
The article lacks a lead section describing what Workbench actually is. JIP | Talk 20:28, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
I think I'd assumed that Workbench is the GUI frontend of AmigaOS, rather than the file manager. So under more recent versions, Workbench is just the file manager, equivalent to Explorer (Windows) and Finder (macOS)? And the overall GUI frontend is called Intuition? Furthermore, is it accurate to say that the metaphor of a workbench is an aspect of the file manager, as opposed to of the GUI frontend (or at least the terminology conventions thereof) as a whole?
Furthermore, I'm a little confused about this statement or at least its relevance: "similarly, 'System' was the name given to Mac OS up until version 7.6". Did "System" in Mac OS 8 mean what is now called Finder? — Smjg (talk) 12:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
