Steve Jobs toured PARC around 1980, played with the interface, and decided to use it for a high end micro computer, which were just beginning to have enough computing power to support such an interface. (This was all discussed in an old magazine called BYTE, in the issue announcing the release of the first Mac.)

Apple was only a few miles from PARC, while Microsoft was up in Seattle, a thousand miles away....
Highly interesting! I should read BYTE I guess :-) Thanks again!
