> an amazingly well-designed OS for its time

It had a few interesting ideas. But no desktop OS based on cooperative multitasking can be called 'well-designed', almost anything could hard-lock the entire system at any time.

AmigaOS was a lot better designed and had full preemptive multitasking, etc. Too bad Commodore sucked at marketing.
Considering it was built for a 68000, I believe that was a reasonable decision on Apple's part.
