Take a wild guess: Windows 1.0 came out more than a year *after* Lisa hit the market (1985). It also imitated several design ideas that only the Lisa had, like pull down menus and a menu bar - and it even had a "file/view/special" menu implementation, just like the Mac (from 1984).


Don't forget the other half-dozen PC GUI systems competing with the
late-entry MS Windows 1.0 in the mid 1980's, some of which were
technically and graphically superior. And also had such a menuing
system - although one of the main competitors had bottom-border menus
that expanded upwards!

Was that the GUI from Visi-Corp? I've never seen that one.
