IIRC, the version of MouseDesk I have is copyright 1985. I'm almost certain that no version predates the Macintosh: it is too similar to the Finder and the heritage of Macintosh style GUIs is fairly well known.
Also: I find it difficult to compare MouseDesk to a GUI -- it is little more than a file manager and perhaps a program launcher.
You are probably correct -- I was just commenting from memory. I only recall that it was kind of a neat desktop for an Apple //e or //c at the time. Sorry for the confusion.
