According to Newton's Telecom Dictionary.  Author: Newton, Harry

Graphical User Interface GUI - A fancy name probably originated by
Microsoft which lets users get into and out of programs and manipulate the
commands in those programs by using a pointing device (often a mouse).
Microsoft's own definition is more elaborate.  Namely that GUI puts visual
metaphor that uses icons representing actual desktop objects that the user
can access and manipulate with a pointing device.
