And this is true. I generally think of Unix as the first modern operating 
system (although Multics actually was, and Unix is based on Multics). Many 
of the Unix innovations have been adopted by other systems, such as the 
hierarchial file systems, the use of a standard input and output and a few 
more. 
However, one of the more profound Unix implementations that I like is 
pipes. In general, this is the ability to easily tie the output of one 
command to the input of another.
