Not to nit-pick, but multi-fork and metadata have existed on the Mac since HFS's introduction in, I believe 1985/1986 timeframe. BeOS took it much much further, but even the Mac was based on the meta-data ideas that existed in the Star and Alto designs. In many ways, we're still trying to get to the 1970s.
