You sound bitter. So other people have thought of and built parts of what jobs' team brought together, ergo Jobs was not a visionary? You can hate Apple and SJ's personality as much as you want, but don't let it blind you. Lisa and Mac invented more over the Xerox UI than you think, plus they got the license from Xerox in a fair deal against shares.

You mean the macintosh project that Steve Jobs took away from its original inventor Jeff Raskin?

Im not bitter it just bothersme the fanboyism that is so prevalent in Sillicon Valley...if we want to improve our craft we need to know it's history.

Except that Raskin's vision for the Mac was completely different from the direction Steve took it in. That's not speculation, we know what Raskin wanted the Mac to be because he founded a separate company and implemented it as SwyftWare and later the Canon Cat. Raskin's plans for the 'Mac' interface didn't even use a GUI, it was entirely text based.

Jef Raskin was an Apple employee who was responsible for the Macintosh project. Please stop trolling.
