1、图形用户界面(GUI)详细发展历史发布者:飞翔浏览:评论:0History of the graphical user in terfaceThe graphical user in terface , or GUI, is a computer i nterface that uses graphic icons and con trols in additi on to text. The user of the computer utilizes a poin ti ng device , like a mouse, to man ipulate these icons and con

This was a great leap forward from thecomma nd line in terfaceused in other operating systems, in which the user types a series of text comma nds to the computer.In itial Developme ntsThe first con cept of a win dowi ng system begi ns with the first real-time graphic display systems for compu

The Macin tosh, released in 1984, was the first commercially successful
6、 product to use a GUI. A desktop metaphor was used, in which files looked like pieces of paper; directories looked like file folders; there were a set of desk accessories like a calculator,notepad,and alarm clock that the user could place around the scree n as desired; and the user could delete file

11、At the same time Microsoft was developing Windows in the1980s, DigitalResearch developed the GEM DesktopGUI system. GEM was created as an alter nativewi ndow system to run on IBM PCsystems, either on top of MS-DOS(like Microsoft Windows) or on top ofCPM-86 DR s own operating systemthat MS-DOS was pa

Compared to the competi ngWin dows 3.0 GUI, it could runreas on ably well on simpler hardware.Revivals were see n in the HP OmniGo han dhelds, Brother GeoBook line of

Related code found its way to earlier Zoomer PDAs, creating an unclear lineage toPalm, Inc s later work.Microsoft Win dowsMicrosoft modeled the first versi on ofWin dows released in1985, on theGUI of the Mac OS Win dows 1.0 was a GUI (gra

16、similar to the GUI ofWin dows 3.0.In 1988, Apple sued Microsoft for copyright infringement of theLisa andApple Macintosh GUI. The court case lasted 4 years before almost all of Apple s claims were denied. Subsequent appeals by Apple were also denied, and Microsoft and Apple appare ntly en tered a fin al, private settleme nt of the
