That is not true. The desktop metaphor, for example, was first introduced at Xerox PARC in 1970, and used commercially in the Xerox Star workstation in 1981.
- mattl 6y agoThat's not what pioneered means.
- eschaton 6y agoNot really, the basis for the desktop metaphor came from research done at IBM, and it was very extensively revised at Apple for Lisa. (See “Inventing the Lisa User Interface” from ACM Interactions in 1995.)
- JohnBooty 6y agoSeems a deliberate and acceptable word choice. pioneer != inventor
