In this case I believe that crediting Apple for setting the bar on what a graphical user interface for a personal computer should look like is accurate. While they did borrow heavily from Xerox PARC and certainly didn't invent the dekstop, Apple put a compelling product in front of the masses.

Sure, they've had an important contribution, but there's a difference between recognition and adulation.

I recognize that Apple have left their fingerprint on computing. So have MS, Linux, IBM, the Osborne, etc.
