In addition to improved versions of [[Microsoft Windows]], which had previously been unsuccessful, they were now facing [[IBM]]s [[Presentation Manager]], [[Hewlett-Packard|HP]]&#039;s [[NewWave (HP software)|NewWave]], [[Sun Microsystems]]&#039; [[OPEN LOOK]], and a host of other [[X Window System|X11]]-based GUIs on various [[Unix]] platforms.<br /> <br /> In response, Apple released a blizzard of marketing materials in 1989 trumpeting Apple&#039;s advantage, the OASIS Model. OASIS was the philosophy behind the Mac. In the documents they outlined the problems with grafting a GUI on top of an existing [[operating system]], and showed how the Mac&#039;s &quot;all in one&quot; design allowed Apple to produce a much cleaner system.<br /> <br /> OASIS was the [[little red book]] for the Mac-using community, an effort to rally the users around a single vision. In this respect it was a failure, as it seemed to many that it was an attempt to fend off competition.{{citationneeded|date=September 2013}} OASIS marketing disappeared with the release of [[System 7 (Macintosh)|System 7]] in 1991.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://tebbo.com/archive/pd890701.htm Apple philosophy is an Oasis for users], &#039;&#039;PC Dealer&#039;&#039;, 07/1989<br /> *[http://www.tebbo.com/archive/mu42.htm OASIS], &#039;&#039;[[MacUser]]&#039;&#039; issue no. 42 <br /> <br /> [[Category:Macintosh operating systems]]</div>
