    Interesting that Windows was in development before the Macintosh. To be fair, lots of 8-bit systems had experimental GUIs at the time as well.

        Sure, and both were exposed to PARC and early 80s experiments in GUIs. There was a certain amount of convergence. But it is interesting that Windows was in motion first.
