ah no
mac took the gui interface from parcs, as well as the mouse
microsoft hired one of the engineers from parcs to create windows from the same source (clean room). They paid him a million dollars to do it.
That is the reason why microsoft won the look and feel lawsuit that apple brought against them.
It also the reason why windows 3.1 interface was so crappy compared to the apple mac interface at the time.
