Microsoft launched Office on August 1, 1989, and for 25 years Microsoft Office has been helping people get things done in their personal and professional lives. We’re proud of that.
The world has changed a lot during the past quarter century, and so has Office. Today, you can experience the power and convenience of Office on your desktop computer, portable laptop computers, or mobile devices such as the Microsoft Surface and Apple iPad. And with our cloud-based Office 365 or Office Online, you can move seamlessly between those devices and use Office wherever you are, with no need for attachments or flash drives to transfer files from one machine to another.
One of the things I like best about Office 365 is that it’s very democratic. Anyone can use Office 365 and enjoy the benefits of better communication, collaboration and productivity. No one is excluded.
At work, everyone from the CEO to mobile workers in the field can increase their productivity and improve their performance with Office 365. At home, Office 365 serves kids doing their homework as well as it does their parents, who may be working on the family budget or creating a presentation for a charity event. Office 365 also works well for people who may experience the world in different ways. Thanks to an array of built-in accessibility features, people with disabilities can use Office 365 as easily as anyone else. To help demonstrate Office accessibility, we recently put together an infographic that shows how you can create accessible Office documents that are easier for everyone to see, hear and use.
