Hey!
Does anybody know what year Microsoft started to bundle Word, Excel and Outlook into Mircosoft Office and stopped selling the products seperately?
This will help with an audit I'm involved in at this time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
DH

has a reference to Office for Mac in '89, and for Windows in '90. Odd that the Mac version came first.

My recollection is that the first full functional Microsoft Office bundle was Office 97.
Various versions of Word were bundled with Microsoft Works.
I have not checked for Office 2007, but up to and including Office 2003, you could buy the parts separately.
If bundled with a system, all of the Office components should have the same license number and be the OEM version.
Keep in mind that someone might have only installed the parts of Office that a user needed. Or, uninstalled parts to free up disk space and resources.
