Xerox Star User Interface (1982) 1 of 2
VintageCG
A demonstration of the 1982 Xerox Star user interface, including its desktop, icons, documents, networking and printing. The uploader argues that Apple's later Lisa and Mac interfaces evolved from these ideas rather than copying them.
HN points to it as a look at an early GUI that did a lot with little learning curve, often to contrast it with modern software.
