Sorry, IMHO it would have to be windows. The original late 1960's windowing
system (hence the lower case W) that was picked up by Xerox PARC.

It the basis for the user interface for almost every computer system now in
use.

As for BSD 4.3, most of it's "inovations" were already running on IBM operating
systems some as early as the late 1960's.
