The Complete History Of Microsoft Office

The complete history of Microsoft Office is something quite comprehensive. It begins October 1990 when the first Office suite appeared on the market as a bundle package designed for Windows 3.0. Included were Word 1.1, Excel 2.0 and PowerPoint 2.0.

Microsoft Office for Windows 1.5 replaced its current Excel application with Excel 3.0. Shortly thereafter the suite version 1.6 added Mail for PC Networks 2.1.

August 1992 gave release to Microsoft Office 3.0 which was the first to be released on CD-ROM. Updated versions of all the applications of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Mail were included. The year 1993 brought the release of Office Professional which added Access 1.I was looking for more information and found it here.1.

The year of 1994 brought about the versions 4.2 for Windows NT with the addition of MS Office Manager and 4.3, the last version to support many of the now antiquated Windows operating systems including 3.x, NT 3.1 and 3.5.

Office 2000 was the last version supportive of Windows 95, and then came Office 2003 with inclusion of InfoPath and OneNote. Office 2007 replaced the toolbars with the ribbon and MS Office 2010 was designated with 14.0 instead of 13.0 to avoid superstitious belief.

Microsoft Office 2012 should be available 07/02/2012.
