GEOS for Commodore 64 now available as a free download. GEOS pre-dates many consumer windowed operating systems, and seemed cool at the time, though I can't say I ever actually used it for anything. I was too used to the READY. interface, I guess. Apparently, you can still buy GEOS on original install media for $25, if you like.

No screenshot! I wanna see what it looks like! I never even heard of it. Can you post a screenshot?

I bet you can find better ones, but here's a screenshot of a C64 emulator for Mac OS 9 running several things, one of which is GEOS:

The emulator itself is here:

And GEOS is a free download, so you can try it out yourself if you find an emulator. :)
