Having worked on Persuasion 1.0 (Powerpoint's only real competitor for a while) being part of Office eventually killed Persuasion (when Adobe owned it later) because Powerpoint was "free".
- abritinthebay 10y agoRight, exactly. It came with Word/Excel so basically anyone at an office already had it because they had Office. Never underestimate the power of "it's already installed"
- scholia 10y agoWhat's more, PowerPoint was pretty much free. The Microsoft Office bundle was cheaper than buying the programs separately. You probably bought Office even if you just wanted Word and Excel.
- dreamcompiler 10y agoToo bad that. Persuasion was a vastly superior program.
