If you are interested in the evolution of the modern GUI (graphical user interface) you should check out the excellent "Road to Leopard" series on AppleInsider.

More than just a look at the new Macintosh OS, the preview breaks down each component of Mac OS X and talks about the history of each, going all the way back to origins of the application.
