AROS, the AmigaOS clone which is being developed by Amiga enthousiasts, and who many regard it as the real future of the AmigaOS, now includes a simple WorkBench clone. Screenshots are available.

Amiga OS was first designed for the A1000 with 256KB memory
later versions could use up to 16MB.
It's small because there is no bloat, no useless features.
AmigaOS has a very efficient and documented library system with version numbering and backwards compatibility.
If you installed a newer version of a certain .library the old programs still worked. (try that with Windows)
Most stuff was written in C, with speed sensitive things in 68k assembler.
