Featuring something resembling the Taskbar, its been so long since I've used RISC OS I've forgotten the name for it. See below:Īpple release the Macintosh II, featuring colour graphics at last, if I was a fanboy I'd say they copied colour graphics from Windows, but I'm not (no Taskbar though).Īcorn Computers release Arthur (the forerunner to RISC OS). The first operating system to have something resembling the Taskbar, an area of the screen reserved for iconized programs. Geos released for Commodore 64 (no Taskbar)Īmiga Workbench announced (still no Taskbar) Microsoft introduce Windows (no Taskbar).Īpple introduce the Macintosh (still no Taskbar) Visi Corp releases Visi On, the first GUI for IBM PCs (no Taskbar). Microsoft begin work on Interface Manager, later to be renamed Windows (still no Taskbar). Xerox introduce the Star, featuring overlapping windows, double-clicking and dialog boxes (still no Taskbar). Xerox PARC create the Alto - the first computer to use a mouse and a graphical user interface (no Taskbar yet).Īpple employees visit Xerox PARC to check out the Alto, after seeing the Alto they begin work on a graphical user interface for their Lisa computer (no Taskbar yet). Here's a little time line for graphical user interface (Hat tip to ToastyTech for the screenshots).
