Common Desktop Environment

With the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you can access networked devices and tools without having to be aware of their location. You can exchange data across applications by simply dragging and dropping objects.

Many tasks that previously required complex command line syntax can be done more easily and similarly from platform to platform. For example, you can centrally configure and distribute applications to users. You can also centrally manage the security, availability, and interoperability of applications for the users you support.
