Question

The history of ms PowerPoint's

Answer 1

Originally designed for the Macintoshcomputer, the initial release was called "Presenter", developed by Thomas Rudkin and Dennis Austin[3] of Forethought, Inc.[4] In 1987, it was renamed to "PowerPoint" due to problems with trademarks, the idea for the name coming from Robert Gaskins.[5]

By then some experts believed that "desktop presentations", using computers to create flip charts and overhead transparencies, could become as large a market as desktop publishing.[6] That year Forethought was bought by Microsoft for $14 million[7][6]($29.2 million in present-day terms[8]), and became Microsoft's Graphics Business Unit, which continued to develop the software further. Microsoft's version of PowerPoint was officially launched on May 22, 1990, the same day that Microsoft released Windows 3.0.
