Common Desktop Environment

The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) is a proprietary desktop environment for Unix, based on the Motif widget toolkit. It is also the standard desktop environment on HP's OpenVMS.CDE was announced in June 1993 as a joint development of Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell and Sun Microsystems as part of the Common Open Software Environment (COSE) initiative. The primary environment was based on HP's VUE (Visual User Environment), itself derived from the Motif Window Manager (mwm). IBM contributed its Common User Access model and Workplace Shell. Novell provided desktop manager components and scalable systems technologies from UNIX System V. Sun contributed its ToolTalk application interaction framework and a port of its DeskSet productivity tools, including mail and calendar clients, from its OpenWindows environment.
