Apple invented the GUI OS. Apple invented the Laser Printer. Please provide some reason to believe they didn't. Your assertion that Xerox invented the Gui indicates a lack of depth in your understanding of this history. How about your own words: "Xerox worked on graphical user interfaces as an idea and a little less than half of the techniques were developed there...". So Apple did not invent the GUI. Guess who invented the laser printer? XEROX PARC. And they invented the local area network. Again, there seems to be some confusion over the word "invent". Was the Mac the first OS with a GUI? Yes it was.
