It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems.[3] [4] [5] Versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), SCO UNIX, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows (1989). It is a component of the Microsoft Office system; however, it is also sold as a standalone product and included in Microsoft Microsoft Word 2 Works Suite. Beginning with the 2003 version, the branding was revised to emphasize Word's identity as a component within the Office suite; Microsoft began calling it Microsoft Office Word instead of merely Microsoft Word. The latest releases are Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac OS X, while Word 2007 can also be run emulated on Linux[6] . There are commercially available add-ins that expand the functionality of Microsoft Word. History Word 1981 to 1989 Concepts and ideas of Word were brought from Bravo, the original GUI writing word processor developed at Xerox PARC.[7] [8] On February 1, 1983, development on what was originally named Multi-Tool Word began.

    Apple Inc.: Computers 1 Infinity Loop, Cupertino, California 95014 December 8, 2008 CMM 321A __________________ Jenna Murray __________________ Nicole Montague __________________ Will Lenihan __________________ Mark Clement __________________ Michael Lazzaro 1 Brand History In 1975 computer hobbyists Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs designed and assembled by hand the Apple I computer (Young and Simon 32-34). It was composed of a single circuit board, a MOStek 6502 processor, a keyboard, and featured 8k of RAM as well as video interface (Wozniak 161; “Inventors of the Modern Computer”). Wozniak would years later say of his invention: “I wanted to design a machine that did something, on a TV you turn a knob and it does something. On my computer, you push a few buttons and switches and lights would come on (Young and Simon 15).” In 1976, Wozniak and Jobs displayed their creation for the first time at the Homebrew Computer Club, a computer hobbyist organization local to Palo Alto, California (Wozniak 166-7; “Apple I”). Many there viewed the Apple I as nothing more than a novelty, due to the fact that it used a MOStek 6502 processor, which was cheaper and less complex than the more widely used Intel 8080 processor (“Apple I”). Despite this fact a local computer distributor called “The Byte Shop” viewed the Apple I and decided to order 50 units at $500 per machine (Young and Simon 35). The computer went on sale in July 1976 at the market price of $666.66, marking the beginning of apple computers (Wozniak 185). Around 200 Apple I‟s were sold by several small retailers before the release of Apple II (“Company: Apple Computer, Inc.”).
