An entire software suite that can still run on a 286 PC with 1mb of memory. Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Publishing, draw and database are the main part of the suite and it all fits in 11-17mb. It was the software ripped off by windows 95 to show "motif" icons. Icons that are associated with the program that created it. If you go back even further it was the first graphical interface used on an Apple machine (Apple IIe) and the first true graphical interface that ran on a PC XT. I first used it on a Commodore 64. The last version produced could run under Dos, Win95, 98, Me and XP...Vista will not run it, but you could create a floppy dos boot disk and keep it on a small Fat partion and still use it on a Vista machine (if the cpu will let you). At one time Geos offered a pretty robust demo program, I think it was called NewPublish that still might be floating around on the net.
This link seems to have it but I don't know if it's the english version.
