 + 
 +The AmigaOS "​desktop"​ is called Workbench. Some basics: 
 + 
 +  * First of all, you get menus by holding down the right mouse button. On the Amiga, like in OS/X, the application wide menus appear at the top of the screenSome applications also have contextual menus that appear by the mouse pointer. 
 +  * The windows representing folders can be made to always re-open in the same location and with the same sizeYou do this by clicking on the window, holding down the right mouse button and selecting "​Snapshot"​ from the menus. 
 +  * If using AmigaOS 3 the folders need to be manually refreshed. 
 +  * You can choose to "leave out" an icon for a folder. This is similar to placing a shortcut on the desktop. 
 +  * Many applications can iconify to the desktop - you might have seen this on some Linux windows managers or on Next. 
 + 
 +MorphOS uses Ambient desktop by default. It has some differences to Workbench used in AmigaOS. 
 +  * You can let Ambient remember window and icon positions automatically 
 +  * You can choose to "leave out" not only folders and programs but also your assigns
