How Steve Jobs stole the GUI from Xerox

by philhill on October 14, 2011

Jobs then all of 24, had a privileged invitation to visit Xerox park …{Jobs} “and they showed my really threes things but…I was so blinded by the first thing they showed me the graphical user interface i didn’t see the other two. Within ten minutes it was obvious to me that all computers would work like this”.

Comment: Apple “stole” the very thing that made the Apple Macintosh so revolutionary, its easy to use interface. Microsoft in turn, “stole” it from Apple and created the classical Windows user interface. In the word’s of Jobs “we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas”.
