NewWave 4.x

HP NewWave is an alternate shell for Microsoft Windows that gives it an icon-object desktop. It attempts to hide the file system from the user, instead presenting them with "objects" that may have many more properties and longer descriptions. It supports a feature called "Hot connects" that automatically updates data across different files.

Third party software had to be adapted to integrate with this system. HP did get a number of vendors to provide support. It includes only one built-in application, NewWave Write.

Wanted 1.00 released 1988 (non-"A" version), NewWave Developers Kit released 1987.
