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.
The two most common methods to run utility programs are command-line interfaces (CLI) and graphical user interfaces (GUI). CLI allows users to execute commands directly through text input, providing greater control and efficiency for advanced users. In contrast, GUI offers a more intuitive and visually engaging way to interact with utilities, making them accessible to a broader audience. Both methods serve different user preferences and use cases.
