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.
