[comp.windows.news] Open Look

mo@maximo.UUCP (Mike O'Dell) (04/16/88)

OPEN LOOK is a graphical user interface design, it is not
a particular piece of code.  It is targetted to be
implementable atop various window systems (according
to the announcements).  It is the equivalent of that
which is described in the "Macintosh User Interface
Handbook".  User interfaces are not code - user interface
agents are code.  You create a user interface paradigm
with artists, not programmers.

Can someone report on the status of OPEN LOOK? I read some nasty reports
in ComputerWorld that Open Look was more or less dead in the water or
would be soon --- that is not to say that Sun or AT&T are abandoning,
but that it had little chance of becoming a widespread standard.

ComputerWorld -- feb. 6, 1989 AT&T's Open Look support vanishing, page 6

"Many analysts concurred last week that Open Look's days are numbered."

"Open Look will become a great trivia question."

"Tow or three years from now, Open Look will have disappeared."

I've been waiting to see it and now people are already pronouncing
and perhaps celebrating its death. Is there any substance to these
rumors?
