I doubt it. By 1987, Office was already well on its way to its dominant position, and whatever presentation tool Microsoft bought would have become the de facto presentation tool, be it PowerPoint, Keynote, or some other tool that's been forgotten, simply because it was available in a package the business was already buying.
- PopAlongKid 4y agoIs "1987" a typo? "[Office] was first announced by Bill Gates on August 1, 1988, at COMDEX in Las Vegas." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_office https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_office
- ascagnel_ 4y agoAh, I got my timelines mixed up. I thought Office was already out by 1987; 1987 was when Microsoft acquired PowerPoint for Office.
