	Taligent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taligent was the name of an object-oriented operating system and the company dedicated to producing it.
		Early in 1994, Hewlett-Packard became a Taligent partner as well, which was odd considering that HP decided in the same year to produce OpenStep on their platforms.
		By 1995, Apple still didn't have an OS capable of running Taligent, and while work continued on the fabled Copland (which was designed to run Taligent), it was fairly clear to all involved that Apple had lost all interest in Taligent.

	The Taligent Effect
		The Taligent effect is what happens when a group of people put adherence to a software trend first and lose sight of the value of shipping software that people will actually use.
		Taligent was started as a joint Apple/IBM venture to build a brand new operating system from the ground-up using object-oriented technology.
		Taligent software became a layer on top of existing operating systems such as AIX, Windows NT, etc. This set of common application frameworks was called CommonPoint.

	Taligent Company History
		Taligent was founded in early 1992 as part of a historic agreement between IBM and Apple Computer to develop the next generation microcomputer operating system.
		There was a reduction in force at the end of 1995 as Taligent made the decision to focus on the technology and leave marketing to their partners.
		In addition, Taligent licensed key Java and C++ technologies to industry partners such as Sun, Netscape, and Oracle, including a number of classes that are today part of Sun's Java environment.

	IGM: Taligent: Where Did Apple and IBM Go Wrong?
		Taligent was the Apple-IBM attempt to create an object-oriented OS which would succeed OS 7 for Apple, and provide a killer OS for x86 hardware for IBM.
		Taligent was only one joint venture for Apple which wound up at a dead end.
		Taligent was set up to develop an advanced object-oriented operating system which would appeal to users because it would help replace slow, bloated packages such as Microsoft Office with small, flexible applets available on demand.

	Taligent Testimony
		My name is Tom Cronan, and I'm the General Counsel and Secretary of Taligent, and I'm testifying today on behalf of Taligent.
		Taligent, as an example, is a new, founded in 1992, small, starting with 170 employees -- we now have 350 employees and by the end of this year will have 450 employees -- innovative, high-tech, high-risk venture.
		And he was a professor for eight years before he came to Taligent, so he had a very good background.

	1.02: Surrender the Pink!
		Taligent would take responsibility for Pink and market it as an open standard for several hardware platforms, including the huge Intel- architecture PC standard and some of the hot new RISC architectures.
		One year later, however, Taligent's central role in determining the future of both companies is impossible to hide.
		Taligent, on the other hand, is designed to run directly on Intel systems.

		Taligent, now nearly three years old, has yet to deliver a product, but will share soon-to- be-released object-oriented technology with HP in return for a 15 percent investment and an HP seat on the Taligent board of directors.
		Taligent and HP spokespersons assured attendees the emphasis is a sincere one, and HP's involvement appears to offer an endorsement to that emphasis.
		HP is simply the first partner that Taligent felt would "understand and use its technology." No additional cash for development or research was added to Taligent in adding HP as a partner, according to Taligent, but officials were unwilling to release figures as to how much the deal might be worth.

		Taligent is vigorously pursuing ports to all popular 32-bit operating systems and is building a network of OEM and distribution partners to deliver its products.
		Taligent's goal is to allow developers who follow the rules to port their software simply by recompiling their code, although as a practical matter some testing on different platforms will still be necessary.
		Taligent provides its investors and other key partners with a reference release, currently running on AIX, for each new version of the CommonPoint application system and the CommonPoint Developer Series.

		Taligent's Places for Project Teams is a stand-alone client designed to provide Lotus Development Corp. Notes and Domino users with a virtual workspace for sharing discussion databases, documents and progress-tracking Charts.
		Rather than replacing the Notes client, Taligent envisions the product appealing to managers of small to midsize project teams whose members do not need or are not trained on the fuller features of Notes.
		Taligent officials acknowledged the need for Web support, and said the next version of Places will be Java-integrated and Web-enabled, and will possibly offer links to Lotus' Kona suite of productivity applets.

	EDM/2 - The Codesmith's Library - Taligent's Guide to Designing Programs - Well Mannered Object-Oriented Design in C++
		On a side note, Taligent (at the time, a joint effort between IBM, Apple and HP) is now a fully owned IBM subsidiary and is focusing on Java (surprisingly ).
		He also states that, although this book is specific to the Taligent Application Environment, this is an advantage because most of it applies to any C++ development environment, and other developers might gain from their empirical knowledge.
		There's an appendix with enough information to form a chapter on Templates, which by their nature tend to bloat code, so we are presented a set of guidelines, with the intent to increase code maintainability and insure smaller memory footprints.

		Taligent's long-awaited object technology, which began incubating at Apple six years ago, debuts this summer when a developer release of the TAE (Taligent Application Environment)--a collection of densely interconnected C++ frameworks--ships to 100 ISVs (independent software vendors) and corporate developers.
		Taligent's investors and potential customers aren't clamoring for yet another operating system, they're asking for versions of TAE that work with the operating systems--and coexist with the applications--they've already deployed.
		Taligent cites the compactness of its system as proof of the high level of reuse that TAE developers can expect.

	Getting Java ready for the world: A brief history of IBM and Sun's internationalization efforts
		Taligent had been developing an object-oriented application framework and operating system called CommonPoint, which included extensive international support.
		Thus, a partnership was born: IBM arranged for Taligent's Text and International group to contribute international classes to Sun's Java Development Kit, making Java powerful enough for real-world business applications.
		Taligent continued to maintain the code, contributing several bug fixes to releases up through JDK 1.1.4.

		TALIGENT AT A GLANCE Founded in March 1992, Taligent is an independent system software company owned jointly by Apple Computer Inc. and IBM Corp. and headquartered in Cupertino, Calif. The company has 310 employees, who use object-oriented technology to develop system software from the bottom up.
		Taligent has the added luxury of being able to put the whole thing together from the bottom to the top.
		The decisions we make optimize on where Taligent is going, mindful; of the fact that helping make Apple successful with System 7 and IBM with OS/2, AIX, and Workplace OS is good for us, because every user in those two or three camps is going to be positioned much better to come to Taligent.

		Once Taligent was spun off, Taligent was out of the internal loop to influence decisions inside of Apple -- so Taligents' people couldn't even defend themselves.
		Because Taligent had two different companies pulling in different directions, merged with two different Corporate cultures, they did not progress very fast -- and as usual the task was much larger than anyone had considered.
		By the time Taligent released something, it wouldn't even run on MacOS, and IBM had taken over most of the control -- but only so IBM could kill it in their own special way (death by bureaucracy).

	Chapter 17 -- Using Class Libraries and Frameworks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Taligent's investors determined that developers were less interested in a new operating system than they were an environment for rapid development.
		Although Taligent uses the word "framework" in a way that isn't quite the same as it is used in the rest of this chapter, one thing is clear: CommonPoint is a large, rich development environment that offers cross-platform capability and many times the functionality of even as rich a library as MFC.
		Although the development environment was AIX (IBM's version of UNIX), Taligent demonstrated CommonPoint running on an HP UNIX machine, a Windows machine, and a Macintosh (using a pre-prerelease of Copland, Apple's next-generation operating system).
