Don't confuse what was going on at PARC with what the corporate folks where thinking. PARC was very much like University research department. PARC wanted their ideas to get out and be used. They weren't so good at making actual products.
Basically, Xerox wanted to cash in the work they did not protect. Apple took what PARC had done and made it a viable commercial product. PARC's windowing setup was quite primitive compared to what Apple (Bill Atkinson) came up with.
