Macintosh. We met
the challenge.
Multiplan. The world’s
favourite spreadsheet combining power
and ease of use.
Chart. The first truly sophisticated and
flexible graphics system.
As the man says.
Macintosh represents a whole new standard in
microcomputing.
One that issues a challenge to all software
manufacturers.
One that we simply had to take advantage of.
Because Microsoft was founded on the belief that
computers should be simple. Easy and intuitive.
Just like the Macintosh.
So its launch gave us the ideal opportunity to prove
our ideas.
Starting with four of our most successful programs.
Multiplan, Word, Chart and File. Now all available
for your Macintosh.
And they’re just the start. Forerunners of a whole
new range of programs designed with the Macintosh
in mind.
with the power to let you do more than
any competing product.
File. The intelligent data manager
accessing efficiently and quickly.
MS-BASIC. The Industry Standard
Implementation of the BASIC language.
“To create a new standard
takes something thats not just a
little different. It takes something
fe thats really new, and captures
peoples imaginations. Macintosh
meets that standard.”
Bill Gates, Chairman,
The Microsoft Corporation.
Designed to make the most of its capabilities.
But then pioneering is nothing new to Microsoft.
We wrote the first microcomputer BASIC in 1975.
Developed the operating system for the IBM PC.
That’s why you can always rely on our products
having the edge. Being one jump ahead.
And that’s why they’re the only choice for the
Macintosh.
After all, the best deserves the best.
