Xerox did, at their Palo Alto Research Center. Apple liked what they built and lifted the idea of a mouse-driven windowed user interface wholesale for their own use. When that ended up working out rather well for Apple, Microsoft slapped a similar user-interface on top of DOS. Eventually Microsoft partnered with IBM to write a real windowed operating system, but bailed once Windows 3.0 became popular, to build their own instead, Windows NT. There's more theft than innovation in software.

The song is "Daydream in Blue" by the awesome band I Monster. It covers "Daydream" by Wallace Connection.

That's why Apple cancelled their Apple-car project, Apples don't have windows

Cars and houses both have windows. But cars can go and houses can't. Hence it's not the windows that make the cars go, but something else entirely.
