Other than the fact it used windows, a menu bar and a mouse, Workbench 
was about as different from MacOS as it was possible to be, not least 
because it supported preemptive multitasking before any other consumer

allowed you to check or uncheck multiple items in a menu at once, 
without the menu disappearing after you clicked the first one.)
