 History of Microsoft Word
The first version of Microsoft Word was developed by Charles Simonyi and Richard
Brodie, former Xerox programmers hired by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1981. Both
programmers worked on Xerox Bravo, the first WYSIWYG (What You See Is What
You Get) word processor. The first Word version, Word 1.0, was released in October
1983 for Xenix and MS-DOS; it was followed by four very similar versions that were
not very successful. The first Windows version was released in 1989, with a slightly
improved interface. When Windows 3.0 was released in 1990, Word became a huge
commercial success. Word for Windows 1.0 was followed by Word 2.0 in 1991 and
Word 6.0 in 1993. Then it was renamed to Word 95 and Word 97, Word 2000 and
Word for Office XP (to follow Windows commercial names). With the release of Word
2003, the numbering was again year-based. Since then, Word 2007, Word 2010,
Word 2013, and most recently, Word 2016 have been released for Windows.
In 1986, an agreement between Atari and Microsoft brought Word to the Atari ST.
The Atari ST version was a translation of Word 1.05 for the Apple Macintosh;
however, it was released under the name Microsoft Write (the name of the word
processor included with Windows during the 80s and early 90s).[2][3] Unlike other
versions of Word, the Atari version was a one time release with no future updates or
revisions. The release of Microsoft Write was one of two major PC applications that
were released for the Atari ST (the other application being WordPerfect). Microsoft
Write was released for the Atari ST in 1988.
In 2014 the source code for Word for Windows in the version 1.1 a was made
available to the Computer History Museum and the public for educational purposes.
Microsoft Word (or simply Word) is a word processor developed by Microsoft. It
was first released on October 25, 1983] under the name Multi-Tool
Word for Xenix systems. Subsequent versions were later written for several other
platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh running
the Classic Mac OS (1985), AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari
ST (1988), OS/2 (1989), Microsoft Windows (1989), SCO Unix (1994),
and macOS (formerly OS X; 2001).
Commercial versions of Word are licensed as a standalone product or as a
component of Microsoft Office, Windows RT or the discontinued Microsoft Works
suite. Microsoft Word Viewer and Office Online are freeware editions of Word with
limited features
 Creator of word
Charles Simonyi Hungarian: Simonyi Károly, pronounced born September 10,
1948), son of Károly Simonyi, is a Hungarian-born American computer businessman.
He was head of Microsoft's application software group, where he oversaw the
creation of Microsoft's flagship Office suite of applications. He founded and heads
Intentional Software (later acquired by Microsoft), with the aim of developing and
marketing his concept of intentional programming. In April 2007, aboard Soyuz TMA-
10, he became the fifth space tourist and the second Hungarian in space. In March
2009, aboard Soyuz TMA-14, he made a second trip to the International Space
Station. His estimated net worth is US$3.1 billion.

Second Creator of word

Richard Reeves Brodie (born November 10, 1959) is an American computer

programmer and author. He was the original creator of Microsoft Word. After leaving
Microsoft, Brodie became a motivational speaker and authored two bestselling
books.
Richard Brodie was, like Simony, a young programmer at Xerox, working for the first
word processor where what the user saw on the screen was what would finally
appear on the paper. In 1981 he was recruited by Bill Gates and Paul Allen,
becoming an employee of Microsoft.

His first project "Word" was developed for the IBM computer under the DOS
operating system in 1983 in what in the future would become the goose that lays the
golden eggs for Microsoft. His first version was somewhat rudimentary and basic,
but not for that reason lack of innovation. Later versions were created for Apple
Macintosh in 1984 and for Microsoft Windows in 1989. Word came to replace what
was then in standard, WordPerfect of Corel company.
