Xerox set up an whole lab to work on GUI. They worked on it for 10 years
before deciding it wasn't a goer. The story is that the dynamic duo had a
tour through the Xerox labs about a year before they were closed down and
took the idea off to their garage.
The funny part was that after Apple had been suing MS for 1 – 2 years,
Xerox turned around and started suing Apple for the same thing. I never
did hear what was the outcome of it all…
