My major experience with GEM was Xerox Ventura Publisher. Ventura and Aldus Pagemaker were the two desktop publishing contenders on the PC. Pagemaker used Windows. Ventura ended up going to Windows as well (no surprise there). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corel_Ventura https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corel_Ventura

Notably, back then you couldn't get GEM on a PC without it being bundled with another program.

  Atari shipped a PC clone that came with GEM + GEM Desktop

    But that was the 2-window GEM desktop, right?
