Microsoft Works
Microsoft Works was a basic office suite that is smaller, cheaper, and has fewer features than the Microsoft Office Suite. Its core functionality included a word processor, a spreadsheet and a database management system. Latest versions had a calendar application and a dictionary while older releases included a terminal emulator. Works was bundled with many computers for free. Microsoft Works had built-in compatibility for the Microsoft Office document formats (DOC and XLS), including, but not limited to, the ability of the Works Word Processor to open Microsoft Office Word documents and the ability of the Works Spreadsheet to open Microsoft Office Excel workbooks. Last versions included task panes but do not include significantly updated features.
