It seems a long time ago when Windows didn’t exist. But before Windows there were other drag and drop GUIs such as that provided by Steve Jobs at Apple. Indeed the various pitched fights between Apple and Microsoft were loud and aggressive, even from the relative distance of us developing software in Scotland back in the late 80’s.
Today Apple dominate a world distinctly different from the world that Micros0ft dominates and they do so with the style and flair that was evident in even their earlier desk top operating systems.
GUI interfaces? My first experience was GEM – it puzzled me as I didn’t have a mouse.
