CDE is the common UNIX desktop that has been created by AT&T, Sun, Xerox, HP, IBM, .... and that was omnipresent.
It is still the official POSIX GUI.
Unfortunately it is butt ugly :-) You beat me to it Erwin, I was just about to put a qualifier before "ugly".
I guess that was the core reason why Sun chose other desktops for "open"Solaris. I had to use it on Solaris only because it was the only thing on offer after olvwm.
