Windows didn't invent the GUI, credit goes to Xerox here.
It didn't popularize the GUI, Apple did with the Mac II, the Mac Plus...
It didn't even push the GUI further. Actually, it brought personal computing back to the stone age with IBM's help during the era of the IBM-PC (and clones) dominance of the early-to-mid 90's (DOS and Windows 3.x). In the late 80's, Amiga computers were doing stuff that Microsoft only caught up to with Windows 2000 (and even then).
