Answer 2

Microsoft Office is a suite of productivity programs created or purchased by Microsoft and developed for Microsoft Windows, and Apple Computer's Mac OS and Mac OS X operating systems. As well as the core office applications, the Microsoft Office brand includes associated servers and Web-based services. Recent versions of Office are now called the "Office system" rather than the "Office suite" to reflect the fact that they include servers as well.

Office made its first appearance in 1989 on the Macintosh,[1] with a version for Windows following it in 1990.[citation needed] It was initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications that were previously marketed and sold separately. The main selling point was that buying the bundle was substantially cheaper than buying each of the individual applications on their own. The first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Additionally, a "Pro" version of Office included Microsoft Access and Schedule Plus. Over the years the Office applications have grown substantially closer together from a technical standpoint, sharing features such as a common spell checker, OLE data integration, and the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software.

The current versions are Office 2007 for Windows, launched on January 30, 2007,[citation needed] and Office 2004 for Macintosh, released May 19, 2004[2]. Office 2007, was announced on February 15, 2006[3], was released on November 30, 2006 for businesses via the Volume Licence and MSDN channels. It features a radically different user interface and a new XML-based primary file format. The new Macintosh version, Office 2008 for Mac, is expected to be released in the second half of 2007.[4]

It competes with other commercial software Office suites from IBM and Corel, as well as free open-source alternatives, such as OpenOffice.org.

Answer 3

Its a collection of "Office" programs. There are many different versions of Microsoft Office, such as Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition, Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, Microsoft Office Small Business 2003, etc. These collections may include any number of the Microsoft Office programs, such as Microsoft Office Visio 2003, Microsoft Office Word 2003, etc.
