What is Microsoft Office?

Microsoft Office is an office software suite developed by Microsoft and available for different systems such as Microsoft Windows, Windows Phone, Mac series, iOS and Android. Like other office applications, it includes federated servers and internet-based services. The 2007 versions of Office are referred to as ‘Office System’ rather than ‘Office Suite’, reflecting the fact that they include servers.

Office was originally a promotional name that appeared in the early 1990s to refer to a collection of software that had previously been sold separately. The main promotional focus at the time was that purchasing a collection would save you a lot of money compared to buying them individually. The original versions of Office included Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; the ‘Professional’ version included Microsoft Access; Microsoft Outlook did not exist at the time. As time changed, Office applications became integrated, sharing features such as spell and grammar checking, OLE data integration, and the VBA scripting language. Microsoft now extends Office as a development platform that can be used in conjunction with third-party software downloads through a dedicated shop.

Office is often the standard for creating documents and files and has features not found in other products, but other products also have features that Office lacks. Starting with the Microsoft 2007 Office System, Office adopted a new interface style known as Ribbon, which is still in use today.
