The Lisa was doc-centric so Apple definitely didn't miss that aspect. They abandoned it because harddrives were expensive and needed a cheaper base system running single apps off floppy.
- msephton 2y agoI think they called them "contexts" on Lisa, but as you say it was referred to as document-centric. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1CvRKdV0Ls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1CvRKdV0Ls But Alan Kay was talking about task-centric, not document-centric, which I'd argue Lisa wasn't quite doing fully. Happy to talk about this more if you think I'm mistaken. And you'll need to let Alan Kay know :)
