  Graphical user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A graphical user interface (or GUI, often pronounced "gooey") is a method of interacting with a computer through direct manipulation of graphical images and widgets in addition to text.
The concept of hyperlinks was further refined and extended to graphics by researchers at Xerox PARC, who went beyond text-based hyperlinks and used GUIs as the primary interface for the Xerox Alto computer.
A 3D computing environment could possibly be used for collaborative work, for example scientists may study 3D models of molecules in a virtual reality environment or engineers may work on assembling a 3D model of an airplane.

Mac OS was the first commercially successful operating system which used a graphical user interface.
In addition to the data fork, which contained a sequence of bytes, there was a resource fork which contained structured data such as menu definitions, graphics, sounds, or code segments.
Most well-written "classic" applications function properly under this environment, but compatibility is only assured if the software was written to be unaware of the actual hardware, and to interact solely with the operating system.

A graphical user interface (or GUI, sometimes pronounced "gooey") is a method of interacting with a computer through a metaphor of direct manipulation of graphical images and widgets in addition to text.
The PUI consists of graphical widgets (often provided by widget toolkit libraries) such as windows, menus, radio buttons, check boxes and icons, and employs a pointing device (such as a mouse, trackball or touchscreen) in addition to a keyboard.
Nowadays, the GUI is no longer an optional part of a successful application, because users have grown accustomed to the ease of use provided by their familiar GUIs.

 Graphical User Interface
A graphical user interface (GUI, pronounced "gooey") is a computer environment that simplifies the user's interaction with the computer by representing programs, commands, files, and other options as visual elements, such as icons, pull-down menus, buttons, scroll bars, windows, and dialog boxes.
By selecting one of these graphical elements, through either use of a mouse or a selection from a menu, the user can initiate different activities, such as starting a program or printing a document.
Prior to the introduction of GUI environments, most interactive user interface programs were text oriented and required the user to learn a set of often complex commands that could be unique to a given program.

KDE is one of two major packages offering a graphical user interface and integrated applications for Unix and Linux, the main alternative being Gnome.
SuSE has previously focused its graphical user interface efforts on KDE, which is a rival to Gnome--for example, adding tweaks to the interface in a project backed by the German federal government.
Several attempts have been made to eliminate the difficulties posed by multiple desktop environments, including an initiative from Linux distribution leader Red Hat giving both KDE and Gnome the same look and feel.

Most Unix servers are similar: Although you can run a graphical user environment if you want to, most Unix administrators leave the servers running a basic command-line window.
It's not an inherent fault in Windows; it's that a graphical user interface requires a lot of programming code to run, and that creates overhead on the server itself.
Terminal Services, by the way, is a safer form of graphical user interface because of Windows's embedded multiple-workstation technology: The user environment created for a Terminal Services session can be completely deallocated when you log off, releasing resources back to the operating system.
