Creator notes

[edit]

I make no assertion about the notability of the topic, although I expect it can be defended easily enough - popular press iterations with a similar structure surely abound - but rather created this to get some of the crufty list-style content out of the main article.

Thank you for splitting up the long Microsoft Office article. However, I am not sure this is the best move, while I was proposing split into History of Microsoft Office which might be better in my opinion. What about renaming this page to History of Microsoft Office and removing the section "Current version for Windows" as it doubles information with Microsoft Office 2007#Editions?--Kozuch (talk) 10:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, there was almost no historical content in this article. Calling it a list of components was much more accurate, as that was all that was moved. There is so little prose content in the Office article that if an editor did wish to expand on its history that they should do it there, first IMHO. MrZaiustalk 12:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's time for me to second that; the page having not seen a major revision in more than a year. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 00:21, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion Regarding Inclusion of StarOffice Information

[edit]

I don't understand the reasoning behind the inclusion of StarOffice information in this article. Perhaps there is some link between them, but it isn't shown here. This appears to be a graphic listing an MS Office competitor product's versions alongside MS Office versions. The inclusion of this graphic is confusing. Unless there is some undisclosed link between the two the graphic should be replaced with one listing only MS Office versions. CheckBoxes (talk) 10:16, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that starting the article with a chart focused on StarWriter (later Star Office) is strange. Also, this chart seems misleading since the visual implies that Star Writer/Office release pre-dated Microsoft products, but that is only because the chart starts the Microsoft history with the "Office" bundle, and leaves out many earlier releases of Word, Excel and even PowerPoint.

Add Office 2019

[edit]

I'm pretty suer that there was an Office 2019 under the traditional (non-subscription model). If so, it should be added to this article.
