I used one of those DEC VAX machines when I was in the military. When considering when they were built they have REALLY REALLY nice GUI. They were built around the time of the first Macs and their interface is significantly higher resolution and more user freindly than those first Macs. They are really nice machines and not terribly big (roughly the size of a small refrigerator).

The money that you paid for one of those first Macs wouldn't buy you a power supply for a DEC VAX. So it's remarkable that Apple managed to commercialize GUIs at a price for the masses, even if their version had lower specs.
