It's a UI innovation that is found in OS X, but Apple did not invent it.
I meant my list to be more like: here are some big innovations in window-based GUI computing, which can be found in OS X. Not that these are all exclusive to OS X.

Same with desktop search--constant careful folder curation just to keep files from getting lost and forgotten.
