Summary
Manual and 3½" floppy disk for Microsoft Works - an integrated software package that includes word processing, spreadsheet, database, communications and limited drawing, introduced in 1986.
It was possible to use the components as if they were a single program, thus increasing productivity.
This Microsoft product Version1.0, 1986, was initially developed for the Macintosh, prior to the MS-DOS Version 1.05.
It was collected because it is representative of the use of the graphic user interface (GUI) introduced in 1983, even though the application itself was released in 1986.
Part of a representative collection of hardware, software, trade literature and promotional material that documents the history of the Apple company, and its contribution to, and impact on the computer industry and society.
