Apple did not make the first personal computer. A company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) produced a kit in 1975 that you could assemble into the Altair 8800 microcomputer which is considered to be the first personal computer. The sales of this computer were higher than expected which indicated that there was a demand for personal computers. This inspired Apple and many others to start developing and selling their own brand of personal computers.

Who invented window screens?

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.

Then Microsoft stole it from Apple and in the 90s, when Apple was declining, Microsoft stole their place.
