Detailed explanation-1: -Alternatively, it is an acronym for Windows, Icons, Mice and Pull-down menus. Examples of user interfaces that are based on the WIMP interaction style include: Microsoft Windows for PCs, MacOs for Apple Macintosh, various X Windows-based systems for UNIX, etc.
Detailed explanation-2: -WIMP is the style of graphical user interface that uses the above-mentioned common widgets. It was invented at Xerox PARC, popularised by the Apple Macintosh and now available in other varieties such as the Microsoft Windows operating system, the X Window System, OSF/Motif, NeWS and RISC OS.
Detailed explanation-3: -Any interface that uses graphics can be called a GUI, and WIMP systems derive from such systems. However, while all WIMP systems use graphics as a key element (the icon and pointer elements), and therefore are GUIs, the reverse is not true. Some GUIs are not based in windows, icons, menus, and pointers.
Detailed explanation-4: -WIMP is not a synonym for a GUI. WIMP describes a type of GUI and GUI’s such as Android and iOS do not use a WIMP type of interaction. Today, computer operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS are interacted with using WIMP.
