Best Answer

Nobody gave their graphical OS and mouse to Apple. Apple developed their own graphical OS for their Lisa computer and another graphical OS for their Macintosh computer. Steve Jobs and some of the Apple team did visit Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) where they saw the Xerox system which used a graphical interface and a mouse but they built their own system for the Apple computers which developed new ideas and expanded some features they had seen at Xerox.
