PowerPoint is a presentation program developed by Microsoft that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It runs on Windows and Mac operating systems and is widely used for business and educational presentations. The first version was created in 1984 and called "Presenter" before being renamed to PowerPoint in 1987 when Microsoft bought the company. PowerPoint has undergone changes over time like adding hyperlinks in 1997 and redesigning the user interface in 2007.
![History
The first version of PowerPoint was initially developed
on 14 August 1984 by Robert Gaskins and Dennis
Austin of Forethought, Inc. of Sunnyvale, California.
The original version of this program was created by
Dennis Austin and Thomas Rudkin.[1] Originally
designed for the Macintosh computer, the initial
release was called "Presenter". In 1987, it was
renamed to "PowerPoint" due to problems with
trademarks, the idea for the name coming from
Robert Gaskins.[2] In August of the same year,
Forethought was bought by Microsoft for $14 million
USD ($26.2 million in present-day terms[3]), and
became Microsoft's Graphics Business Unit, which
continued to further develop the software.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/microsoftpowerpoint-121030064323-phpapp02/85/Microsoft-power-point-3-320.jpg)
![History
PowerPoint changed significantly with PowerPoint 97.
Prior to PowerPoint 97, presentations were linear,
always proceeding from one slide to the next.
PowerPoint 97 introduced hyperlinks, which allowed
users to jump around during a presentation.
PowerPoint 2000 (and the rest of the Office 2000 suite)
introduced a clipboard that could hold multiple objects
at once. Another noticeable change was that the Office
Assistant, whose frequent unsolicited appearance in
PowerPoint 97 had annoyed many users, was
changed to be less intrusive.[citation needed]
PowerPoint 2007 (and the rest of the Office 2007 suite)
introduced a complete redesign of the user interface
where commands could be found in the "ribbon," rather
than in traditional menus.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/microsoftpowerpoint-121030064323-phpapp02/85/Microsoft-power-point-4-320.jpg)
