But I remember the scene in "Pirates of Silicon Valley" where Gates was in a meeting at PARC with his partners and they were showing him the GUI and said basically "we have no use for this, you take it". Then the designing engineers jaws hit the floor.

Now it was just a movie
No, in the movie it was Jobs and other Apple employees visiting PARC when they obtained the GUI. Gates got his hands on the Apple version of the GUI when Jobs invited him and a couple of other MS employees to preview the Mac and develop some apps for it.
