Sorry if I don't get the sarcasm but OpenDoc was the typical big entreprise sales/marketing driven project, with corporate partnership and architectural concepts having way more weights than engineering and usage realities. This was nowhere near the original Apple ADN and was more of a typical enterprise IBM services project. It's a no brainer it was shut down given Steve vision for Apple.
- scarface74 7y agoOpenDoc came straight from the Advanced Technology Group. It was definitely engineering led.
- AlanYx 7y agoThe initial OpenDoc architecture came out of ATG, but by mid-1992 it had been folded into the AIM Alliance, a shared Apple, IBM and Motorola group. IBM contributed SOM, which was architecturally very heavy/baroque. By 1996 OpenDoc was folded into the OMG umbrella and then it really became bogged down in design by multi-corporate consensus.
