decline of its parent companies and due to the inherent difficulty of anyone in the it industry remaining committed beyond 18 months 59 in september 1995 ceo joe guglielmi unexpectedly exited taligent to become vp of motorola intensifying the industry s concerns dick gurino a general manager of a pc and software development division at ibm was named the interim ceo and tasked with searching for a permanent ceo 58 in october 1995 gurino died of a heart attack while jogging leaving the company without a ceo on december 19 1995 founding taligent employee and apple veteran debbie coutant was promoted to ceo 60 2 6 on that same day it received what would be its final ceo taligent inc also ended its partnership form apple and hp sold out their holdings in the company making taligent inc a wholly owned subsidiary of ibm alone while dissolving the partnership each of the three former partners expressed approval of taligent s progress in what they called overall enterprise wide cost cutting processes apple and hp wanted to simply maintain technology licenses ibm wanted to use its own redundant marketing and support departments and taligent wanted to focus only on technology in the process nearly 200 of the 375 employees were laid off leaving only engineering staff apple veteran and taligent cofounding employee mike potel was promoted from vp of technology to cto saying we re better protected inside the ibm world than we would be trying to duke it out as an independent company that has to pay its bills every day 2 6 in november 1996 the final public demonstration of the complete native talos was given titled the cutting edge scenario while referring to the original codename of pink taligent had already officially abandoned the never published native talos in favor of commonpoint 61 talos was unique in its architecture it was object oriented from the kernel up and provided true pre emptive multi threaded multi tasking the end user experience revolved around a compound document centric multi user networked direct manipulation interface with infinite session undo the principal interface theme was people places and things the networked interface represented remote users as well as collaborative work spaces in many ways it was more a graphic moo multi user dimension object oriented than a traditional operating system 61 tom dougherty taligent engineer unbundling edit in 1997 taligent s mission as an ibm subsidiary was to unbundle the technology of commonpoint and to redistribute it across ibm s existing products or license it to other companies all with a special overall focus on java on september 1 1997 dr dobb s journal observed i guess it s easier to develop hot technology when the guys before you have already written most of it like inheriting from a rich uncle and having another rich uncle to sell it for you doesn t hurt either 6 the wider mass market debut of commonpoint technology was in the form of visualage c 3 5 for windows with the bundling of the compound document framework to handle ole objects in february 1997 the first comprehensive shipment of commonpoint technology was its adoption into ibm s well established visualage for c 4 0 which pc magazine said was unmatched in sheer breadth of features because now the best of the commonpoint technology is being channeled into open class for visualage this bundled sdk adaptation includes several commonpoint frameworks desktop infrastructure for building unified ocx or opendoc components web called webrunner for making drag and drop compound documents for the web and server cgis graphics for building 2d gui apps international text for unicode and localization filesystems printing and unit tests 62 through 1997 taligent was at the core of ibm s companywide shift to a java based middleware strategy 63 taligent provided all unicode internationalization support for sun s 1997 release of java development kit 1 1 through 1 1 4 6 7 taligent was still leasing the same building from apple and javasoft was located across the street but its parent ibm and the related lotus were located on the east coast and were not fully aware of taligent s plans and deliverables 64 better source needed webrunner is a set of java and javabeans based development tools at 149 65 in june 1997 places for project teams was launched at 49 per user as a groupware gui which hides the ugly interface of lotus notes 66 67 68 taligent had several products licenses 69 trademarks and patents 70 apple canceled the unstable and unfinished copland project in august 1996 which had already been presumptively renamed mac os 8 again leaving only a system 7 legacy apple s own book mac os 8 revealed 1996 had been the definitive final roadmap for copland naming the platform s competitors and allies and yet its 336 pages contain no mention of pink or taligent 71 in late 1996 apple was ever more desperately scrambling to find any operating system strategy whatsoever beyond system 7 even after having already planned its upcoming announcement of it to be made in december 1997 15 228 229 the company had failed to deliver even a functional developer preview of copland in two years and it discarded the successful a ux and poweropen platforms in 1995 and the new aix based apple network server of 1996 1997 to build the future mac os the company seriously explored licensing other third party oses such as solaris windows nt and talos 15 228 229 dissolution edit on september 16 1997 ibm announced that taligent inc would be dissolved by the end of the year with its approximately 100 software engineers being offered positions at ibm s santa teresa laboratory to work on key components for ibm s visualage for java programming tools and at the recently announced java porting center that ibm is setting up with sun microsystems and netscape 72 ibm withdrew commonpoint for os 2 from the market on august 3 1999 73 reception edit by 1993 one year after incorporation and two years before shipping its first product taligent was nonetheless seen as a significant competitor in the industry unixworld said that next needs to increase its volume three fold over its existing 50 000 installations in order to build enough momentum to forestall microsoft and taligent in the object oriented software business 74 in 1994 several peek beta test sites were impressed with commonpoint including one production success story at american express which replaced its existing six month legacy application in only six weeks at first in 1994 they had said we are almost overwhelmed by the complexity of commonpoint i don t know if the typical corporate developer is going to be able to assimilate this in their shop 30 but in 1995 they concluded the project with the commonpoint frameworks and i m not exaggerating are brilliant in the way they cover the technical issues of that project 56 others were disappointed in the marked lack of crossplatform presence on hp ux mac os and windows nt which strictly limited any adoption of commonpoint even among enthusiasts 5 56 16 in a survey we conducted learnability was mentioned as a main inhibitor to framework use by developers familiar with frameworks and early developers with taligent experienced a stiff learning curve even for experienced c programmers the time it takes to become a productive developer with taligent frameworks is long at least three months until you can approach your first application a beginner s guide to developing with the taligent application frameworks hewlett packard 1995 49 once you learn commonpoint and taligent s system you will be an expert c programmer whether you want to or not basing apps on commonpoint results in programs that are more consistent internally cleaner and allows the framework to do significant grunt work in cooperation with the taligent environment taligent s frameworks are all coordinated much better than others i ve seen they re designed to work together with the underlying kernel in a fashion similar to the mac s rom toolbox calls but on a supremely more advanced level nextstep is the closest thing to taligent but it s already old and not nearly as advanced despite the fact that until now it s been the fastest development platform bar none we have spoken with people who have used nextstep and we considered it but it s clear to us that commonpoint is the next nextstep if you will nisus software march 1995 after three months of taligent training and three of coding 16 in march 1995 ieee software magazine said taligent s very nature could change the contour of the application landscape i t s clear that taligent is sitting on using and refining what is ostensibly the world s best developed comprehensive object oriented development and system environment the system was described as virtually a whole os of nothing but hooks which rests upon integrates deeply with and replaces the host s original operating system leaving no lowest common denominator therefore any taligent native application is expected to run just the same on any supported host os any degree of clean portability especially with native integration in the software industry was described as a holy grail to which many aspire and few deliver citing the fact that microsoft word 6 0 for macintosh still works like a foreign windows application because the foundation was redundantly ported with each application 16 in february 1997 at the first comprehensive mass release of taligent technology in the form of visualage c 4 0 pc magazine said now the best of the commonpoint technology is being channeled into open class for visualage although the technology was lauded by many the size and complexity of the commonpoint frameworks proved too daunting for practical purposes for sheer breadth of features the taligent frameworks are unmatched an all encompassing oop framework has always proved a difficult ideal to realize but visualage s open class technology preview is by far the most credible attempt we ve seen 62 in 2008 pcworld named the native taligent os as number 4 of the 15 top vaporware products of all time 75 due to the second system effect and corporate immune response wired writer fred davis compared taligent s relationship with apple and ibm to a classic greek tragedy a child is born destined to kill its father and commit even more unspeakable acts against its mother the parents love their child and are unwilling to kill it so they imprison it in a secret dungeon despite its mistreatment the child grows stronger even more intent on committing its destined crimes 20 in 1995 it journalist don tennant asked bill gates to reflect upon what trend or development over the past 20 years had really caught him by surprise gates responded with what tennant described as biting deadpan sarcasm kaleida and taligent had less impact than we expected tennant believed the explanation to be that microsoft s worst nightmare is a conjoined apple and ibm no other single change in the dynamics of the it industry could possibly do as much to emasculate windows 76 legacy edit the founding lead engineer of pink erich ringewald departed apple in 1990 to become the lead software architect at be inc and design the new beos 77 mark davis who had previously cofounded the unicode consortium had at apple co written worldscript macintosh script manager and headed the localization of macintosh to arabic hebrew and japanese kanjitalk 37 was taligent s director of core technologies and architect of all its internationalization technology and then became ibm s chief software globalization architect moved to google to work on internationalization and unicode 6 and now helps to choose the emojis for the world s smartphones 78 ike nassi had been vp of development tools at apple launched mklinux served on the boards of taligent and the opendoc foundation and worked on the linksys iphone 79 ibm harvested parts of commonpoint to create the open class libraries for visualage for c and spawned an open source project called international components for unicode from part of this effort citation needed resulting from taligent s work led by mark davis ibm published all of the internationalization libraries that are in java development kit 1 1 through 1 1 4 along with source code 7 6 64 which was ported to c and partially to c enhanced versions of some of these classes went into icu for java icu4j and icu for c icu4c 80 the jdk 1 1 received taligent s javabeans migration assistant for activex to convert activex into javabeans 6 davis s group became the unicode group at the ibm globalization center of competency in cupertino 80 81 taligent s own published software was a set of development tools based on java and javabeans called webrunner and a groupware product based on lotus notes called places for project teams 67 68 taligent licensed various technologies to sun which became an enduring part of java and others to oracle corporation and netscape hp released the taligent c compiler technology known within taligent as comptech as its ansi c compiler acc citation needed hp also released some taligent graphics libraries citation needed in the 2010s some of apple s personnel and design concepts from pink and purple the first iphone s codename 8 9 were blended into google s fuchsia operating system based on an object oriented kernel and application frameworks its open source code repository was launched in 2016 with the phrase pink purple fuchsia 10 publications edit the following publications
