The icons at the desktop feature first-ever trashcan, control panel, clipboard and external hard disk.

Lisa’s shutdown is somewhat unique, as it can be – to some point – cancelled, using a Apple+. combination later popular at Macintoshes. Please note the warning regarding external ProFile disk (not shown on systems without it). Also, during shutdown Lisa saves the entire state of desktop (including open windows), in order to restore it when turned on again.

This GUI doesn’t have this feature. The font is changed by means of a pop-up menu, a tradition taken over by Macintosh and continued in some applications to this day (cf. Macintosh and PC editions of Microsoft Word).

Open file

This GUI doesn’t have this feature. Lisa has a document-centric interface. No New and Open commands are necessary – the new document is torn from a stationery, and documents are opened just by double-clicking on them (it’s not possible to launch an application, system does that automatically).
