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.
The Apple computer actually runs the Unix operating system but this is hidden from the users by a very good graphical user interface. Apple call their operating system "Mac OS X".
It stands for Graphical User Interface, its like windows or mac, where you move a mouse click on things and they interact with you.

It is doubtful that the Apple Magic Mouse would work on a couch, unless somehow the couch has been hacked to run Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later or Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0.
If you mean what OS it is OSx Mountain Lion. OSx is a Unix bases graphical interface.
Apple's Magic Mouse will work on any Bluetooth-enabled Apple Macintosh computer running Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later. Other ordinary computers can only use an ordinary mouse.
Mac OS has a graphical user interface (GUI).
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed by Xerox at their Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). They used the GUI concepts in their Xerox 8010 Star Information System in 1981.The idea was developed further by Apple and used in their Lisa in 1983, then the Macintosh in 1984.So technically the Mac OS was not the first GUI but it was the first to be widely adopted by consumers.
A GUI is a graphical user interface. An input device is any piece of hardware that is used to interact with a computer. e.g. mouse, keyboard, etc. A GUI is usually interacted by utilizing a mouse; but, older software used the keyboard more than the mouse.
Mac OS X is the OS used on Apple's Macintosh computers.
Apple's Mac OS X is legally only used on Apple Macintosh computers.
Apple's Mac OS X email client is called Mail.
