This year commemorates the 45th anniversary since the launch of the Xerox Star 8010 computer. Introduced to the market in 1981, this groundbreaking device stands as the world's inaugural commercial computer featuring a graphical user interface (GUI). It pioneered the introduction of the Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) operational paradigm, laying the foundation for the desktop logic that remains prevalent today. Officially named the Xerox 8010 Information System, it was developed by Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). The system boasted an AMD Am2900 processor, 384KB of memory (expandable up to 1.5MB), a 10-40MB hard drive, and a 17-inch display with a resolution of 1024×808. It also supported Ethernet connectivity and laser printing capabilities. Although its hefty price tag of $16,595 curbed its market reach, its technological innovations exerted a profound influence on subsequent systems like the Apple Lisa, Macintosh, and Microsoft Windows, cementing its status as a cornerstone product for modern personal computers.
