Finder, Multifinder, A/UX, Minix (in a few months), Smalltalk-80 from Parcplace (too large to run on 1Mb machines Peecess, but runs on ALL macintoshes), MacApp, TI Explorer environment, etc... Conclusion: The environments for the macintoshes are much richer and much more diverse. The PC environments are all clones of each other, just like the PC itself.
