The ideas led to the development of the Xerox Alto prototype, which was originally called "the interim Dynabook". [8] [9] [10] It embodied all the elements of a graphical user interface, or GUI, as early as 1972. The software component of this research was Smalltalk, which went on to have a life of its own independent of the Dynabook concept.
Diablo Data Systems was a division of Xerox created by the acquisition of Diablo Systems Inc. for US$29 million in 1972, [1] [2] a company that had been founded in 1969 by George E. Comstock, Charles L. Waggoner and others. [3] [4] The company was the first to release a daisy wheel printer, in 1970. Metal Daisy Wheel for Xerox & Diablo printers
The Xerox Alto is a computer system developed at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) in the 1970s. It is considered one of the first workstations or personal computers , and its development pioneered many aspects of modern computing.
GlobalView was an integrated “desktop environment” including word-processing, desktop-publishing, and simple calculation (spreadsheet) and database functionality. [1] It was developed at Xerox PARC as a way to run the software originally developed for their Xerox Alto, Xerox Star and Xerox Daybreak 6085 specialized workstations on Sun Microsystems workstations and IBM PC-based platforms.

Smalltalk-72 was ported to the Xerox Alto in April 1973, the same month the first units began operation. [ 9 ] After significant revisions which froze some aspects of execution semantics to gain performance (by adopting a Simula -like class inheritance model of execution), Smalltalk-76 was created.
Instead, in 1970, he joined the Xerox PARC research staff in Palo Alto, California. Through the decade, he developed prototypes of networked workstations using the programming language Smalltalk . Along with some colleagues at PARC, Kay is one of the fathers of the idea of object-oriented programming (OOP), which he named. [ 9 ]
Bravo was the base for Gypsy, a later document system on the Alto, the first with a modern graphical user interface. Bravo was followed by BravoX, which was developed in 1979 [ 3 ] under Simonyi's leadership at Xerox's Advanced Systems Development (ASD) group.
