Editing Cyberdog (section)

OpenDoc had several hundred developers signed up, but the timing was poor. Apple Computer was rapidly losing money at the time. Before long, OpenDoc was scrapped, with [[Steve Jobs]] noting that they "put a bullet through (CyberDog's) head", and most of the team was laid off in March 1997.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-lays-off-thousands/|title=Apple lays off thousands|author=Dawn Kawamoto|author2=Anthony Lazarus|date=14 March 1997|work=CNET News.com|access-date=22 March 2018}}</ref> Other sources noted that Microsoft hired away three ClarisWorks developers who were responsible for OpenDoc integration into [[ClarisWorks]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bob/clarisworks.php#oregon | title=A Brief History of ClarisWorks : Oregon | author=Bob Hearn|author-link=Bob Hearn | year=2003 | work=Bob Hearn's website | access-date=24 April 2007}}</ref>

[[AppleShare|AppleShare IP Manager]] from versions 5.0 to 6.2 relied on OpenDoc, but AppleShare IP 6.3, the first Mac OS 9 compatible version (released in 1999), eliminated the reliance on OpenDoc.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60659 | title=AppleShare IP 6.3 Does Not Require OpenDoc | author=Apple | date=18 December 2003 | work=Apple Support | access-date=24 April 2007 }}{{Dead link|date=August 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Apple officially relinquished the last trademark on the name '''OpenDoc''' on June 11, 2005.

OpenDoc had a large memory footprint for the time, and since the [[OS/2]] (Warp 4) versions of OpenDoc were behind schedule, Cyberdog only ran on Macintosh. Moreover, saved documents were not viewable from applications which did not support OpenDoc's [[Bento (file format)|Bento]] format. After Apple terminated Cyberdog along with the rest of OpenDoc, Cyberdog's web browser component grew outdated as web standards evolved.

Cyberdog was once positioned as a replacement for the earlier, discontinued, [[Apple Open Collaboration Environment]].
