> Today some people believe MS invented the desktop, and they will try to convince people they started the ARM transition when all they have is prototypes when there are companies already selling ARM computers(Linux and mac)today. Today some people believe Apple invented the desktop too, indeed many elements of the Xerox Alto had been demonstrated in Doug Engelbart's mother of all demos for the NLS system in 1963, the NLS system itself being based on and inspired by the memex machine documented by Vannevar Bush in 1945. It's not always as clear as one thinks as to where credit is due. When it comes to the desktop it's as clear as mud, with PARC, GEM, Workbench, Windows and Mac OS all able to lay claim to firsts in their respective areas, which were to some extent imitated or copied in others.
