Lisa
a user-friendly computer program that allows the user to point and click on icons to make the computer function
Microsoft got some ideas from what Apple were doing in order to create Windows. Apple had themselves got some of their ideas for their Graphic User Interface from Xerox. So neither Apple not Macintosh were the first to create Graphic User Interfaces with a desktop style. All companies use ideas from other companies and try to develop them and bring out their own variations. That is not necessarily stealing. It actually helps in the progression of different computer systems to give us the huge variations of technologies that we have today.Microsoft got some ideas from what Apple were doing in order to create Windows.

GUI = Graphic User Interface. It's what a computer displays on the screen to interact with the user.
GUI = Graphic User Interface. It's what a computer displays on the screen to interact with the user.
Apple did not invent the graphical user interface. Xerox invented and commercialized it in 1973. Apple created the first successful computer with a graphical user interface.
Yes.
NO!
A computer's Graphic User Interface (GUI) allows the user to use a mouse to control a cursor, rather than having to type commands in text.
The Apple Lisa was the first commercially available computer with a Graphical user Interface and using a mouse as control.
Journalists and graphic artists have been known to be one of the biggest user groups. An upcoming user group is system developers / programmers. Students are also a big user group because of the traditional stronghold Apple has had in the education business.
The graphic user interface, or GUI, was first invented by XEROX PARC for their ALTO computer. Apple then stole the idea and put it in the Lisa, which Apple overpriced and failed. The first successful personal computer with a GUI was the Macintosh 128k, soon replaced with the 512k, as even back then 128k was too small for an advanced system. Then Microsoft stole it from Apple and in the 90s, when Apple was declining, Microsoft stole their place.
