Figure 1: Graphical user interfaces ten to fall into a few camps: those based on IBM’s Systems Application Architecture (primarily Windows and Presentation Manager), Unix systems generally built around X Window, and Mac-like systems that tend to be tightly integrated and distinctive. In this figure, a dotted line indicates some overlap between the objects on either side of it. An asterisk indicates that the technology is proprietary or that the company has no specific name for it.
