I must write a paper, under the related competition and the monopoly, want to use office software’s example, who can introduce.Which office software has, in the function has any difference, any company develops, development history, software sale what state.Should better have the concrete data.Company’s history is best said that or which companies is tells me to have to handle these matters me to go to the to look up.I know have Microsoft with Jinshan, hoped that can introduce other, for instance overseas, by me to Microsoft the understanding, he cannot be office software’s initiator absolutely.
Remembered that must inquire the lotus 123 lotus flower company famous office automation software in 1977, Apple II was published, fire of the PC burnt comprehensively.But promotes the sale also to treat a software’s appearance truly:This is Bricklin development electronic forms Visicalc.
Was Visicalc II turned single-handedly Apple from the amateur hand’s toy the commercial tool which wielded great power with great arrogance, thus has initiated the true PC revolution.Some people were called this kind of phenomenon are “software’s tail shook hardware’s dog”.Indeed many users merely to use Visicalc to purchase Apple machine, this is in the computer history the unprecedented first time.
in 1981, IBM PC emerged officially, PC became the global revolution, but promoted the PC sale truly also depending on an essential software:This is electronic forms Lotus which in 1982 issued 1-2-3.May not exaggerate said that by now software already became the computer industry important propelling force, also has established software’s industry important position.At the same time, is also precisely each kind of common software (operating system and application software) adding fuel to the flames, promoted PC compatible machine’s prosperous.
