Not sure what you mean. Windows doesn't "use" a GUI, Windows is the GUI.

Define exactly what you mean, your question doesn't make any sense.

Schools never out. In Linux you can choose which GUI to use like Gnome. I guess i dont understand windows very well. But windows is the OS does it have a seperate GUI or is it the GUI? I have no idea wats going on

Windows uses different themes - it comes with Classic (Win2k, basically) and two variants (blue and silver) of the standard Luna theme.
Does that go some way towards answering your question?

I already told you! Didn't you understand what I wrote?  Windows is its own GUI. Graphical User Interface. Unlike Linux where X-Windows runs on top of command line OS, with different GUIs, Gnome, KDE NextStep etc.

Windows is the OS.  Windows is the GUI.

Simple as really...

On Linux you can only choose from gnome or KDE, on Windows you can install curtains, drapes,  Venetian blinds...

Just go to your local Linens 'n Things. :P
