“What was so revolutionary about the Macintosh really? Apple didn’t invent the GUI. Xerox did many years before.”
A preposterous oversimplification. It’s what Apple did with the GUI that matters. Xerox dabbled with it on a main frame or maybe a mini but didn’t have any idea of what they actually had. Jobs had a talent for knowing what people would want before they did, no small thing. Apple has never recovered from the loss imho.
Xerox had it on a mini. We sold them in our store
