PPT version change
The idea of PowerPoint originally came from Bob Gaskins's idea. He used to be a doctoral student at Berkeley. At that time, he knew that the coming graphical interface era might subvert the tools of demonstration design and creation.
1984, Gaskins joined a declining Silicon Valley software company called Foresight and hired software developer Dennis Austin. Bob and Dennis perfected his dream and designed a "demonstrator" to implement the project.
Dennis and Tom Luther King designed the original version of this program. Bob later suggested a new product name "PowerPoint", which eventually became the official product name.
PowerPoint 1.0 was released on 1987 on Apple Macintosh. At first, the software was only available in black and white, and only generated text and graphic pages for transparent projection slides.
Although the first color Macintosh computer quickly entered the market, it was not until one year after the initial version that full-color PowerPoint came out. The first edition of the user manual is quite unique. This manual is a hardcover blue book, because it is forethought that in this era of 1987 when computers and computer books are not on the table, these executives will not mind having a small blue book unrelated to computers on the table.
The upgrade manual turned out to be quite expensive So the hardcover handbook was soon abandoned.
1At the end of 1987, Microsoft acquired Foresight and PowerPoint for14 million dollars. 1990 PowerPoint first window version released. Since 1990, PowerPoint has become a standard member of Microsoft Office software package.
After becoming a part of Microsoft Office, PowerPoint has become the most widely used demonstration software in the world.
Because Microsoft Office files are often passed between computer users, it can be said that the most important functions of any presentation software, such as Apple's Keynote and OpenOffice.org's Impress, have become PowerPoint files.
However, because PowerPoint embeds content from other applications through OLE, many presentations are highly dependent on the window platform.
This means that even the MacOS version of PowerPoint can't always successfully open the same PowerPoint file from the window version. This leads users to turn to open standards such as PDF and OpenDocument.
