““Microsoft Word, word-
processor software launched in 1983 by
the Microsoft Corporation. Software
developers Richard Brodie and Charles
Simonyi joined the Microsoft team in
1981, and in 1983 they released Multi-
Tool Word for computers that ran a
version of the UNIX operating
system (OS).
Figure 1
Later that year, the program was rewritten to run
on personal computers (PCs), such as
the IBM PC, under Microsoft’s version
of DOS (disk operating system), or MS-DOS,
and was renamed Microsoft Word. The product
was in direct competition with WordPerfect and
WordStar, both of which were introduced for
PC’ s in 1982”.
