Microsoft Works

Common card · No. 339534

Microsoft Works is a discontinued productivity software suite developed by Microsoft and sold from 1987 to 2009. Its core functionality included a word processor, a spreadsheet and a database management system. Later versions had a calendar application and a dictionary while older releases included a terminal emulator. Works was available as a standalone program and as part of a namesake home productivity suite. Because of its low cost, companies frequently preinstalled Works on their low-cost machines. Works was smaller, less expensive, and had fewer features than contemporary major office suites such as Microsoft Office. Mainstream support for the final standalone and suite release ended on October 9, 2012, and January 8, 2013, respectively.
