History of Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office was first introduced to the market by Bill Gates on August 1, 1988, at a computer trade show in Las Vegas. The first official release of Office was for the Macintosh computer, named Microsoft Office for Mac, and was released on August 1, 1989.
About a year later on November 19, 1990, Microsoft released Office for Windows computers, named Microsoft Office for Windows.
Microsoft Office in the cloud
The last version of Office designed specifically for use on a computer was Office 2013. After that version, Microsoft pushed Office to the cloud, to keep up with the growing cloud computing movement. Microsoft re-branded Office for the cloud as Microsoft Office 365, and provides access to it through a fee-based annual subscription. The yearly fee marked another change for Microsoft Office, as it was previously available for a one-time cost.
